A rectangular parking space is marked out by painting three of its sides.If the length of the unpainted side is 9 feet, and the sum of the lengths of the painted sides is 37 feet, then what is the area of the parking space in square feet?

Correct Answer: 126sq.ft

Explanation:

Let l = 9 ft.


Then l + 2b = 37


=> 2b = 37 – l = 37 – 9 = 28


b = 28/2 = 14 ft.


Area = lb = 9 × 14 = 126 sq. ft.
