It is already given in the problem that the area of the triangle logo is 36 square units and the area of the rectangle is 54 square units. Considering that there are no additional places in the logo except the triangle and the rectangle, we have to determine the percentage of the total area of the logo covered by the triangle.
NOw
Total area covered by the triangle and the rectangle logo = (36 + 54) square units
                                                                                           = 90 square units
Then
The percentage area covered by the triangle logo = (36/90) 100 percent
                                                                                 = (36/9) 10 percent
                                                                                 = (4 * 10) percent
                                                                                 = 40 percent
So 40 percent is the area covered by the triangle logo.So option "H" is the correct option in the given problem.
