3/8
3/8
I think that looks more like the right answer.
Boyo still not turned up!

full square is 4 x 4 units = 16.
Shaded area has 4 base and 3 high so area is 1/2 x 4 x 3 = 6.
shaded area over full area = 6/16 = 3/8.

Edit; drawing to scale shows it to be closer to 1/3, but not exactly. SO award still stands - after the VAR check

I used to watch it but that one passed me by, or I forgot it. Geezers in stetsons demanding country & western get Culture Club instead.

They must have made so many of those Renault 4 vans, still see them today and often with something sticking out of that handy little roof flap! One of those quirky French design ideas which was really practical.Wow, sounds like it got seriously sulphated somehow.
The danger now will be of it splitting and chucking hot acid everywhere.
No idea why it happened so suddenly, maybe it just got slowly sulphated up until one cell or maybe more just couldn't do its job. I'm not going to be rude and ask if you had topped it up properly. So, sorry, just dunno!
Sorted battery problem but the failure so soon does seem odd. Spookily the last time this happened, either two or three years ago, it was in the exact same circumstances and the car in exactly the same spot.
Measured the volts after stopping the engine and it was 9, next morning barely over 6. Had planned to jump start again and drive off for a new one but after reading up on the rotten egg smell which at first I thought might be something to do with the DPF seeing as a persistent error message about it had appeared, decided the risk of H2S poisoning, especially with aircon on and windows up, or a Hydrogen explosion with a battery in that state, or indeed as you suggested the battery splits and dumps the contents, instead I pinched the battery from the other car, fitted that and took the errant one with us.
Got one same size but bigger capacity because I reckon with everything electric these days the battery was being over drained and left not fully charged. Was reckoned to be maintenance free so checking levels would have entailed prizing off some of the casing which didn't look like it was supposed to come off. Might do that with the new one anyway.
Going out to fit it in a minute.
Nice quality job and verry good slatescopper nails I hope ?
Ta much.
Tis a mix of copper & galvi, the only big box of copper clout nails I could find locally was nearly 400 squids from jewson,
although a builder chap passed when I was on the roof, got chatting & he said he thinks there is a load of copper nails in
his work they do kitchens n bathrooms & have no need for them, hopefully he will bring them round.
From what? Please don't I'm sure we'll enjoy it!I'll refrain
I helped a mate of mine get hold of some copper nails, he was cladding his house with cedar or summat.Ta much.

They ended up coming from Australia, still the cheapest for what he wanted. That was a few years back but not that long ago.
er..... it isn't 3 high.full square is 4 x 4 units = 16.
Shaded area has 4 base and 3 high so area is 1/2 x 4 x 3 = 6.
shaded area over full area = 6/16 = 3/8.

4 base agreed.
Call for VAR! Again!
The apex of the triangle is in fact at 2.65 units above the base.full square is 4 x 4 units = 16.
Shaded area has 4 base and 3 high so area is 1/2 x 4 x 3 = 6.
shaded area over full area = 6/16 = 3/8.

(2.65 x 4) / 2 = 5.3 sq units which is just under 1/3 of 16.
I did this by drawing and measuring. I think it ought to be dead on 1/3.
So I claim my £5!
Now very frustrated at having forgotten all the trig. I learned back in prep school and having no tables here to look stuff up in!
Grrrrr!
For once tinternet is useless at reteaching me, and I am so impatient with the idiots trying to do it.

Can not believe the road funds tax over there now how can you afford to run a vehicle

Our kit cars are all free bar the one I haven't finished building.
W's car is 2004 but on a Blue badge and special dispensation for handicap so ..... free.
Other two Discos are sorned.
So we only pay for the Disco 2 about £350 I think. Yep sure is a lot for less than 5k miles. Wish theyd just put it on fuel!
