Question

A parking space shaped like a parallelogram has a base of 17 feet and a height is 9 feet. A car parked in the space is 16 feet long and 6 feet wide. How much of the parking space is not covered by the car?

Answer 1

Ok, so we have to find areas and subtract

area=legnth times widht or base times height

parking space area=17 times 9=153
car=16 times 6=96


subtract
153-96=57
answer is 57 ft^2

Answer 2

60 percent is not covered the way i know this is you have to multiply 17x9=153 then do the same with 16x6 which gives you 93 then subtract it which gives you 60
