Veronica made the pattern shown out of 7 rectangles with four equal sides. The side length of each rectangle is written inside the rectangle. A. How many rectangles can be formed using the lines in this figure?

B. If Veronica wanted to extend her pattern by adding another rectangle with 4 equal sides to make a larger rectangle, what are the possible side lengths of rectangles that she can add?

Hint: There are two possible answers, but one is better since it follows Veronica’s pattern.

hey seth! : )

i’m not 100% sure, but i think it’s b

hope this ya : p

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
