PLEASE HELP ANSWER ASAP

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Plug in given values if a = 12, b = 16, and c = x (x is hypotenuse)

12^2 + 16^2 = x^2

(12*12) + (16*16) = x^2

144 + 256 = x^2

400 = x^2

Take square root of both sides to solve for x

sqrt(400) = sqrt(x^2)

20 = x or x = 20

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

you didn't give me the choices, so i will just give you the graph so you can look at your choices and choose the right one.
