What is the area of the parking lot? \text{km}^2km 2

Answer 1

none of the above

Explanation:

Answer 2

Area of parking lot is
`(1)/(3)\:km^(2)`

Explanation:

Given that the parking lot is in a rectangular shape with length as
`(2)/(3)\:km` and width as
`(1)/(2)\:km`

Therefore, to find the area of parking lot use the formula for area of rectangle. The formula of area of rectangle is given as,

`Area\:of\:rectangle = Length* width`

Substituting the values,

`Area\:of\:rectangle = (2)/(3)\:km* (1)/(2)\:km`

Simplifying by cancelling out common factors,

`Area\:of\:rectangle = (1)/(3)* (1)/(1)\:km^(2)`

`Area\:of\:rectangle = (1)/(3)\:km^(2)`

Hence, area of parking lot is
`(1)/(3)\:km^(2)`
