2. A 16-foot monument is composed of a rectangular prism and a square pyramid, as shown.
6 feet
10 feet
6 feet
6 feel
If the exposed surfaces of the monument are to be covered with one-inch square
tiles, approximately how many tiles will be needed?

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

47

step-by-step explanation:

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
