Find the area of the region that is not shaded

A = h(b/2)

So the height is 8 and the base is 5

A = 8(5/2)

A = 20

I hope this helps! :)

The area of what is not shaded should be 20 Square Units. If you want to know how to do that you just multiply the base of the triangle by the height of the triangle then multiply that number by 0.5 and you should get your answer.

The problem:

solve for bh=?

5×8=40

then multiply by .5

40×.5=20

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
