Find the distance between the points ( - 16, - 9) and ( - 16, - 18).

notice, the x-coordinate is the same for both points, thus is a vertical line.

Check the picture below.

astronomers is your final answer! : )

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
