The two trapezoidal windows each measure 5 feet across, have outside edge lengths of 1 foot and inside edge lengths of 5 feet. What is the area of one window.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area one window is 15 [tex]ft^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the trapezium =  5 feet

outside edge length  = 1 foot

inside edge length = 5 feet

To Find:

The area of one window =?

Solution:

The area of the trapezium can be found using the formula

=>[tex]$\left(\frac{\text {outside edge length}+\text {inside edge length}}{2}\right) \times$height[/tex]

Substituting the values

=>[tex]$\left(\frac{1+5}{5}\right) \times$height[/tex]

=>[tex]\left(\frac{1+5}{2}\right)\times 5[/tex]

=>[tex]\left(\frac{6}{2}\right)\times 5[/tex]

=>[tex]\left(3)\times 5[/tex]

=> 15 [tex]ft^2[/tex]
