Answer 1

(a)69.96 Square feet

(b)b=11 feet

Explanation:

(a) Area of the truck=10.6 X 6.6 =69.96 Square feet

(b)Given that the parking space has an area of 165 square feet.

• One of the dimension of the parking space is 15 ft
• The other dimension of the parking space is b ft.

Area =15*b

165=15b

b=165/15=11 feet

The missing dimension of the parking space is 11 feet

Since the height and width of the parking space (15 ft by 11 ft) is far higher than that of the truck (10.6 ft by 6.6 ft), the truck will fit into the space.
