Answer:
The area of the window is of 840 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of an trapezoid, we need to add the sum of the bases, multiply by the height, and then divide by 2.
Matematically:
[tex]A = \frac{(b_{1} + b_{2})*h}{2}[/tex]
In which [tex]b_{1}[/tex] and [tex]b_{2}[/tex] are the bases and h is the height.
In this question:
[tex]b_{1} = 30, b_{2} = 40, h = 24[/tex]
All the measures in inches, so the area is in square inches.
[tex]A = \frac{(30 + 40)*24}{2} = 840[/tex]
The area of the window is of 840 square inches.
