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?

185 ft2
944.5 ft2
26,016 ft2
169,460 ft2

Answer 1

ahem! would you prefer D?

Explanation:

Answer 2

The area of a parallelogram is
`A=bh`


`A=10(18.5) \\ A=185`

I am assuming you're asking for the entire parking lot, so you would have to multiply the above area by 916


`185(916) = 169,460 ft^(2)`

So the answer is (D)
