Question

a window is shaped like a parallelogram. the length of the base of the window is 1 1/2 times the height. the height of the window is 4 feet. the length of the other side of the window is 5 feet. what is the area of the window? use the number pad to enter your answer in the box. square feet

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the base length

The base is $1\frac{1}{2}$ times the height. Given height $h = 4$ feet. So base $b=1\frac{1}{2}\times4=\frac{3}{2}\times4 = 6$ feet.

Step2: Calculate the area of parallelogram

The area formula of a parallelogram is $A = b\times h$. Substitute $b = 6$ feet and $h = 4$ feet. So $A=6\times4 = 24$ square - feet.

Answer:

24
