Amachine is set up to cut metal strips of varying lengths and widths based on the time (t) in minutes. the change in length is given by the function l(t)=t^2 - sq. root of t, and the change in width is given by w(t)=t^2 - 2t 1/2. which function gives the change in area of the metal strips?

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
