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

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]A_{w} = 20.88\,ft^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is:

[tex]A = b\cdot h[/tex]

[tex]A = (8.7\,ft)\cdot (7.2\,ft)[/tex]

[tex]A = 62.64\,ft^{2}[/tex]

The area of the bedroom window is:

[tex]A_{w} = \frac{A}{3}[/tex]

[tex]A_{w} = \frac{62.64\,ft^{2}}{3}[/tex]

[tex]A_{w} = 20.88\,ft^{2}[/tex]
