Can someone help me with this. (find the missing length. The triangles in each paor are similar

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar (and it's clear which sides are correlated to which), we can tell than CB/SB = DB/TB

CB=SB+CS=24+18=42

42/24=(9+TB)/TB

42*TB=24*(9+TB)

42*TB = 24*9+24*TB

18*TB=24*9

24*9/18=TB=12

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

its 50 miles away from the starting point
