Will mark brainliest the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet. the length of the rectangle is 6 feet. what are the possible measurements of the width? write an inequality to represent this problem. use w to represent the width of the parallelogram. [hint: the formula for finding the perimeter of a parallelogram is p = 2l + 2w. what is the smallest possible measurement of the width? justify your answer by showing all your work.

answer: 48

just remember to use pemdas:

parentheses

expressions

multiplication

division

addition

subtraction

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
