Answer:
• Yes, the area of the truck is less than the area of the parking space.
,• The missing dimension of the parking space is 12 ft.
Explanation:
The area of the parking space = 216 ft²
Part A
The dimensions of the custom truck = 12.1 ft by 3.6 ft.
To determine if the truck can fit into the space, we calculate the area of the truck.
Since the area of the truck is less than the area of the parking space, the truck will fit into the space.
Part B
The parking space is in the shape of a parallelogram.
Given:
• Area = 216 ft²
,• Base = b ft
,• Perpendicular Height = 18 ft
We then have:
The missing dimension of the parking space is 12 feet.
