Question

A parking spcae shaped like a paralelelogram has a base of 17 feet and a hiehgt of 9 feet, a car parked in the sapce is 16 feet long and 6 feet wide. How much of the parking spcae is not covered by the car?

Answer 1

57 Square Feet

Explanation:

First, we determine the area of the parallelogram shaped parking space.

Area of a Parallelogram= base X Perpendicular Height

= 17X9=153 Square feet.

Next, we determine the area of the car packed on the space.

The space where the car is packed is 16 feet long and 6 feet wide.

This suggests a rectangular shape.

Area of the Packed Car

Length X Breadth=16X6= 96 Square feet.

Finally, we determine the area of the packing space not covered by the car.

Area not covered=Area of Parking Space - Area Covered by the Car

=153-96

=57 Square Feet
