Ratio of the perimeters of two rectangles is 5 to 8. the perimeter of the larger rectangle is 72 inches. what is the perimeter of the smaller rectangle?

5/8 = x/72 where x is the perimeter of the smaller rectangle.

8x = 5 * 72

x = 5 * 9

x = 45

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
