Math Problem Statement
Solution
The task in the image is to calculate the area of the future car parking lot based on the given data. Here is a translation of the problem from Lithuanian:
Problem Statement: According to the city expansion plan, a plot of 1396 m² consists of two partially overlapping plots, whose combined area is designated for a car parking lot. The area of the first plot is 968 m², and the second plot is 586 m². Calculate the area of the future car parking lot.
Solution:
- Let be the area of the first plot.
- Let be the area of the second plot.
- Let be the total area of the combined plots, which includes the overlap.
The overlap area can be found by subtracting the sum of both plots from the total area:
Thus, the area of the future car parking lot, which is the total combined area without double-counting the overlap, is:
Answer: The area of the future car parking lot is 1396 m².

Here are some related questions you might find interesting:
- What is the significance of understanding overlap areas in real-world applications?
- How would the solution change if the total area was not provided?
- Can you explain the concept of set theory as it relates to overlapping areas?
- How would you calculate the overlap if only partial data were provided for each plot?
- What are some methods to visualize overlapping areas in practical scenarios?
Tip: When dealing with overlapping areas, always ensure to account for double-counting, which can often lead to overestimating the total area.
