Respuesta :

760 sq feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

The sides of the given parallelogram are 60 feet and 40 feet and the height is 38 feet

The length of the rectangular walkway = 38 ft

Width of the walkway = 20 ft

The roses are planted in the park (parallelogram) except in the walkways 's area ( rectangle)

Hence the total area where the roses are planted is the park 's area (parallelogram) - the walkway's area ( rectangle.)

Step 2 :

Area of the park (parallelogram ) = b * h = 40 * 38 = 1520 sq ft

Area of the walkway (rectangle) = l * b = 38 * 20 = 760 sq ft

Area of the park where roses will be planted = 1520 - 760 = 760 sq ft.
