A hotel manager finds that, on average, 86% of customers keep their reservations each week. The manager predicts that out of 2,200 reservations next week, 300 customers will cancel. He thinks they should overbook the hotel by 42 reservations each day. Do you agree with the manager? Explain.

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
