Answer:
Explanation:
Since we know the length of each base is
and the extra gap needed is
, then the length of the rectangle needed to fit the parallelogram is
yards.
The height of each parallelogram is
(from the previous problem), so the width of the rectangle needed to fit both parallelograms is
.
Finally, the area of the rectangle can be found by multiplying the width and length of the previously determined length and width:
