If you were constructing a triangular frame, and you had wood in the length of 4inches, 4 inches, and 7 inches, would it make a triangle? would you be able to create a frame from these pieces of wood? yes or no. explain your mathematical thinking

  Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to make a triangle with non-zero area, the sum of the shorter two sides must be greater than the longest side.

Here, 4 + 4 > 7, so the lengths can form a triangle.

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
