A parking space shaped like a parallelogram has a base of 18 feet and a height is 9 feet. A car parked in the space is 13 feet long and 5 feet wide. How much of the parking space is not covered by the car?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Parallelogram:

Height, h = 9 ft

Base, b = 18 ft

Rectangle:

Length, l = 13 ft

Width, b = 5 ft

Area of a parallelogram (parking space) = b × h

= 18 × 9

= 162 ft^2

Area of a rectangle (car) = b × l

= 13 × 5

= 65 ft^2

Area not covered by the car = area of the parking space - area of the car

= 162 - 65

= 97 ft^2

% of the parking space = area not covered/area of the parking space × 100

= 97/162 × 100

= 59.88 %
