Question

A parking space shaped like a parallelogram has a base of 17 feet and a height of 9 feet if a mini car 6 feet long and five feet wide parks in the space, then how many square feet of the parking space is not covered by the car

Answer 1

Answer:

123 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to know how exactly to find the area of a parallelogram.

Area of parallelogram= Base*Height

PARALLELOGRAM-

BASE= 17 ft

HEIGHT= 9ft

AREA= 17*9= 153 cm²

The area of parallelogram, will be considered as WHOLE AREA.

Now,

AREA OF MINI CAR-

length= 6 ft

Width= 5 ft

Area= 6*5= 30 ft ²

Square feet uncovere-

153 ft²- 30 ft²= 123 ft²
