Question

The parking space shown at the right has an area of 150 ft. A custom truck has

rectangular dimensions of 11.7 ft by 6.1 ft. Can the truck fit into the space? Justify you

answer.

Answer 1

Answer: The truck can fit into the parking space since the area of the parking space is greater than the area occupied by the truck.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to calculate the rectangular area occupied by the truck, by multiplying its dimensions:

Area = length x width

11.7 ft x 6.1 ft = 71.37 ft2

Now, we have to compare it with the available parking space:

150 > 71.3

The truck can fit into the parking space since the area of the parking space is greater than the area occupied by the truck.
