It is given that,

The intersection of two streets forms a parallelogram. One street is 40 feet wide. The height of the parallelogram formed is 25 ft.

We need to find the area of the intersection.

It means the a parallelogram has a base of 40 feet and a height of 25 feet. Area of parallelogram is given by :

`A=b* h\\\\A=40* 25\\\\A=1000\ \text{feet}^2`

So, the area of the intersection is 1000 sq ft.
