frank wants to replace the windows in the front of his house. The front of his house has three windows shaped like parallelograms. Each window has a base of 3.25 feet and a height of 2 feet. What is the total area of all three windows?
How do I solve this?
The area of a parallelogram is (base)(height)
You are given both values, so go for it.
3.25 x 2 x 3 = 19.5 ft2 ?
To solve this problem, we need to find the area of one window and then multiply it by the number of windows.
First, let's find the area of one window. The area of a parallelogram can be calculated by multiplying the base by the height. In this case, the base of each window is 3.25 feet and the height is 2 feet. So, the area of one window is:
Area of one window = base × height = 3.25 ft × 2 ft = 6.5 square feet
Since there are three windows, we need to multiply the area of one window by 3 to find the total area of all three windows:
Total area of all three windows = Area of one window × 3 = 6.5 sq ft × 3 = 19.5 square feet
Therefore, the total area of all three windows is 19.5 square feet.
