I think that's a trick question. Sure it will ... if you park it at a 60 degree angle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you have to park it 'straight', then we have to do a little math.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Draw your parallelogram, 45 feet and 30 feet with 60 degree angle between the 30 and 45 sides.
\n" ); document.write( "Drop a line from one end of the a 45 foot side down. Make it perpendicular to the 30 foot base line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now take 45 *cos(60) to see how long the side of the resulting right triangle is. Take 45*sin(60) to see how long the other side is. Then make the call about whether the rv can fit \n" ); document.write( "
