Question

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.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area one window is 15 $ft^2$

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

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

Substituting the values

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

=>$\left(\frac{1+5}{2}\right)\times 5$

=>$\left(\frac{6}{2}\right)\times 5$

=>$\left(3)\times 5$

=> 15 $ft^2$
