Find the area of the shaded region. all angles are right angles

Area =

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shaded region is equal to the total area of the full square minus the area of the non shaded region.

The area of a rectangle is its base times its high

So A=b*a.

For the full square, A1=

For the non shaded square, A2 =

So the shaded area is A1-A2 =

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
