you are going to wash a large glass window in a shape of a trapezoid. The lenghts of the bases of the window are 10 feet and 14 feet. the height is 8 feet. you can wash 6 square feet of the window in 1 minute. how long will it take you to wash the entire window

16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are going to want to find the area of the window. We then divide that by the amount of area you can wash per minute ( 6 square feet )

So first lets find the area.

We are told that the window is in a shape of a trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula A =

Where a and b are the base lengths and h is the height

We are told that the length of the bases are 10 ft and 14ft so a and b = 10 and 14. We are also told that the window has a height of 8 so h = 8 .

We then plug these numbers into the formula to find the area

Recall formula:

a = 10 , b = 14 and h = 8

plug in these values into formula

add 10 and 14 to get 24

simplify fraction : 24 / 2 = 12

multiply 12 and 8 to get 96.

A = 96 square feet.

To find how long it would take to wash the window we divide the total area of the window by the amount of area that can be washed per minute

Total area of window = 96

Area that can be washed per minute = 6

Time it would take to wash the whole window = 96 / 6 = 16 minutes
