What’s the area of the figure?

we can pretty much split the middle part into two trapezoids. Check the picture below.

so we really have one trapezoid and one square, each twice, so simply let's get the area of the trapezoid and sum it up with the area of the square, twice, and that's the area of the shape.

4 + 5 7/9= 9 7/9

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
