Answer 2

The area of the window will be equal to 195 sq. inches.

Explanation:

On a boat, a cabin's window is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid.

The longer side parallel side is at the bottom.

The top side of the trapezoid is 10 inches and the height is 15 inches and the base of the triangle formed from the height on the right is labeled 3 inches.

So, the bottom parallel side has length of (10 + 3 + 3) = 16 inches.

Therefore, the area of the window will be equal to
`(1)/(2)(10 + 16)15 = 195` sq. inches. (Answer)
