Helen Flowers · Answer 1

The area of the parallelogram is given by:

A = b * h

Where,

b: base

h: height

Substituting values we have:

A = (16.5) * (6)

A = 99 feet ^ 2

The number of packages will be:

N = 99/5

N = 19.8

Rounding:

N = 20

Answer:

It will be needed 20 packages of tile to tile the music room floor
