On a boat, a cabin's window is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, as shown below. what is the area of the window?

an isosceles trapezoid with top side 10 inches long and a longer bottom side. the height is 14 inches. the base of the triangle formed from the height on the right is labeled 4 inches.

The Area of the trapezoid shaped window is

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

We can see from the picture below that the area of a trapezoid is the following

Where:

First we need to find the bottom base value, which we can see from the picture would be the following,

Now we can plug all the values into the formula for the Area in order to calculate the final Area of the trapezoid shaped window.

So the Area of the trapezoid shaped window is

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at .

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
