Expert Solution
Step 1

The expression for the average thickness is given by,

Mechanical Engineering homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Here, t represents the thickness of the metal deck, w1 represents the length at the top, w2 represents the length at the bottom, d represents the diameter, and s represents the length of one complete cavity.

Substitute the required values to calculate the average thickness.
