Question

Debbie Murphy is building a contemporary home with four front windows, each in the form of a parallelogram. If each window has a 5-ft base and a height of 2 ft, how many square feet of the 25 ft × 11 ft wall will require stain?

Answer 1

Given:

Window has a 5 feet base(b) and height(h) of 2 feet

`Area\text{ of a parallelogram=b}* h`
`\text{Area of a window=5}*2`
`\text{Area of a window=}10\text{ square feet}`
`\text{Area of four windows=4}*10`
`\text{Area of four windows=}40\text{ square feet}`
`\text{The amount of square feet wall require stain=}(25*11)-40`
`\text{The amount of square feet wall require stain=}275-40`
`\text{The amount of square feet wall require stain=}235\text{ square feet}`
