b) what area of fabric is needed for the triangles?
c) what area of the background is visible?

Remember to use the four block problem solving method we have been using in class (Q, K, M, A).  If you are looking for that level four please make a plan in the K(KNOW) section and refer to the real world and prior knowledge.
