A window in Michael's room is in the shape of a trapezoid. The bases are 30 inches and 40 inches. The height of the window is 24 inches. Find the area of the window
Area = height(base 1 + base 2) all divided by 2
Sub in your numbers... and we can check your final answer.
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) × (base1 + base2) × height
Given that the bases of the trapezoid are 30 inches and 40 inches, and the height is 24 inches, we can plug the values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) × (30 + 40) × 24
Simplifying the calculation:
Area = (1/2) × 70 × 24
Area = 35 × 24
Area = 840 square inches
Therefore, the area of the window is 840 square inches.
