Check the picture below.
bear in mind that, the "bases" are the two parallel sides, and the height is the distance between them.

It is convenient to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do the math for this. Functions can be defined for cost and profit, and evaluated at each of the volumes of interest.
a1) For 200 cars, the Outside location yields the greatest profit
a2) For 300 cars, the City location yields the greatest profit
b) The sites yield the same profit for a volume of 278 cars.
