Answer:

$Length\: of\: D=37\frac{3}{16} \:feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the details provided:

The handicapped space measures $10\frac{1}{16}$ feet next to the curb.
The other three spaces each are $8\frac{3}{8}$ feet wide.
There are four lines separating the spaces, each line being $\frac{1}{2}$ foot long.

The Median D will be calculated as follows:

Width of the handicapped spot
3 times the width of the other spaces
4 times the width of the lines

$= 10\frac{1}{16} + (3 X 8\frac{3}{8})+(4 X\frac{1}{2})\\=\frac{161}{16} + \frac{3 X 67}{8}+\frac{4}{2}\\=\frac{161}{16} + \frac{201}{8}+\frac{4}{2}\\=\frac{161+402+32}{16}\\=\frac{595}{16}\\Length\: of\: D=37\frac{3}{16} \:feet$
