Solve x2 – StartFraction 16 Over 25 EndFraction = 0.

1. Isolate x2 : x2 = StartFraction 16 Over 25 EndFraction

2. Apply the square root property of equality:

StartRoot x squared EndRoot = StartRoot StartFraction 16 Over 25 EndFraction EndRoot

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
