Answer 1

The area of the parallelogram is given by:
 A = b * h
 Where,
 b: base
 h: height
 Substituting values we have:
 A = (16.5) * (6)
 A = 99 feet ^ 2
 The number of packages will be:
 N = 99/5
 N = 19.8
 Rounding:
 N = 20
 Answer:
 It will be needed 20 packages of tile to tile the music room floor
