Question

Kendra is having a decorative window installed in her house. She is making a curtain and she needs to find the area to buy the correct amount of material. What is the area of the window?​

Answer 1

10.2 square feet

Explanation:

The figure given is that of a regular hexagon

Here we can see 6 congruent triangles in the hexagon each with a base of 2 feet and a height of 1.7 feet

The area of each triangle = 1/2 bh which in this case works out to

1/2 x 2 x 1.7 = 1.7 square feet

Therefore the total area of 6 triangles = 6 x 1.7 = 10.2 square feet
