The school administration has found that students like to take a shortcut across a grassy field that is 35 feet x 40 feet. They have decided to pave a 4 foot wide walkway along

Here is a picture of the field and the proposed walkway. What is the area of the walkway

based on context clues you gave i'm assuming the answer would be c.

i can answer this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

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
