Answer:
or 59.88% of the parking space is not covered by the car.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question deals with the area of a space.
We need to find the area covered by the car, and compare with the area of the parking space.
The area of the car (which we will assume in this case, is more like a rectangle) = Length × Breadth = 13 feet × 5 feet = 65 fee
The area of the parking space (a parallelogram) is base × height = 18 feet × 9 feet = 162 fee
The amount of the parking space occupied by the car is then given by
=
=
or 40.12%
So, the area not covered by the car is gotten by subtracting the area covered by the car (which is a fraction), from 1.
So, 1 -
=
or 59.88% of the parking space
Since its an isosceles triangle
2x - 5 = x + 40
-x -x
x - 5 = 40
+ 5 +5
x = 45
Count the spaces between the points rise over run
B, because you keep trying to solve!
