PPP3 Quant (Spoiler)

While I did get this correct, I thought an easier approach would be to see the shaded region as a trapezoid and calculate the area accordingly but so far I’ve had no luck. Help if possible.

I think the easier approach is to notice that

Area(shaded region in PTUR) = Area(unshaded region in PTUR) = Area(PTUR)/2

and we can find,

Area(PTUR) = Area(PQRS) - 2*(Area(RST))

You can choose numbers here, and compute the area to get the ratio.
