Question

A parking lot has 916 parking spaces that are shaped like parallelograms. The base of each space is 10 feet, and the height of each space is 18.5 feet. What is the total area of the parking spaces?
A 185 ft2
B 944.5 ft2
C 26,016 ft2
D 169,460 ft2

Answer 1

First find the area of each parking space
10*18.5
185 feet2
then multiply the area of each parking space by the total amount go parking spaces
185*916
169,460 ft2 is the total area of the parking spaces

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D. 169460 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 916 parking spaces shaped in a parallelogram. Each space is 10 feet long and 18.5 feet high.

we have to calculate the total area of the parking spaces.

Since spaces are in the shape of parallelogram therefore formula to measure the area will be = Base × height

Area of one space = 10 × 18.5 = 185 ft²

There are 916 parking spaces so total area will be = 185×916 = 169460 ft²

Answer is Option D. 169460 square feet.
