A window in Michael's room is the shape of a trapezoid. The bases are 30 inches and 40 inches. The height of the window is 24 inches. Find the area of the window.

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:

In which and are the bases and h is the height.

In this question:

All the measures in inches, so the area is in square inches.

The area of the window is of 840 square inches.

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
