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
