Two sides of a square are divided into fourths and another side of the square is trisected, as shown. A triangle is formed by connecting three of these points, as shown. What is the ratio of the area of the shaded triangle to the area of the square? Express your answer as a fraction.
Side of square = x
Base of triangle = x
Height of triangle = 3x4
Area of triangle = 3x28
Area of square = x2
Ratio - 3x28x2=38
