Final answer:

The remaining piece of board is -27 feet long.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the remaining piece of board, we need to subtract the length of the cut board from the original length. The original board is 6 feet long and a 33 feet long board is cut from it. To find the remaining length, we subtract 33 from 6: 6 - 33 = -27. Therefore, the remaining piece of board is -27 feet long.
