Question

A local grocery store has a diagonal spaces that are shaped like parallelograms. If the space is 9ft wide and 24 ft long what is the area

Answer 1

A=length times width so 24 times 9 equals 216

Answer 2

`\boxed{\text{216 ft}^(2)}`

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is

A = bh

`\begin{array}{rcl}A & = & \text{24 ft} * \text{9 ft}\\& = & \textbf{216 ft}^{\mathbf{2}}\\\end{array}`

`\text{The area of the space is $\boxed{\textbf{216 ft}^{\mathbf{2}}}$}`
