Did I choose the right graph?

Step-by-step explanation:

The - tells you that it is upside down. So that much of your choice is correct for certain.

The 1/8 squishes the graph something fierce. So of those graphs given, the one you chose is most likely correct. But you are right to be a little miffed at the question. You should never have to choose an answer with only a picture to guide you. If you have a graphing calculator, try y = -1/8 x^2 which is a good candidate for all the graphs.

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
