Aparking space shaped like a parallelogram has a base of 17 feet and s height is 9 feet. a car parked in the space is 16 feet long and 6 feet wide. how much of the parking space is not covered by the car?

By subtracting the area of the car from the area of the parking space we can find the non-occupied area. 



But the area of the car, and space must be found first

Knowing the space is a parallelogram, we can use the formula A=bh. 
The area of a parallelogram is base(height)






By multiplying the width and length of the car we can find the car's area.





With the first formula written and the value of the area, we can find the free space




The space not occupied is 57 ft²
