A square blanket has an area of 64 square feet. find the length of one side of the blanket

The length of one side of the blanket is

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are expected to find the side of the square shape.

we know that the area of the square is expressed as

but a square shape has all sides equal hence

substituting our area and squaring both side to find l we have

boxplot e is the answer

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
