Write x2 − 2x − 3 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers

a.(x − 4)2 = 3
b.(x − 3)2 = 2
c.(x − 2)2 = 1
d.(x − 1)2 = 4

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
