Question

A parking space shaped like a parallelogram has a base of 19 feet and a height is 9 feet. A car parked in the space is 14 feet long and 6 feet wide. How much of the parking space is not covered by the car? The area of the parking space not covered by the car is

Answer 1

87 feet^2

Explanation:

area of the parking space not covered by the car = area of parking space - area covered by the car

area of parking space = area of a parallelogram = base x height = 19 x 9 = 171 feet²

Area of car = area of a rectangle = length x width 14 x 6 = 84 feet²

area of the parking space not covered by the car = 171 feet² - 84 feet² = 87 feet^2
