Question

In his living room, Rashad has a window shaped like a parallelogram. Its is 7.2 feet high and has a base of 8.7 feet. The area of a window in Rashads bedroom is three times smaller. What is the area of the bedroom window

Answer 1

`A_(w) = 20.88\,ft^(2)`

Explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is:

`A = b\cdot h`

`A = (8.7\,ft)\cdot (7.2\,ft)`

`A = 62.64\,ft^(2)`

The area of the bedroom window is:

`A_(w) = (A)/(3)`

`A_(w) = (62.64\,ft^(2))/(3)`

`A_(w) = 20.88\,ft^(2)`
