A trapezoid has an area given by A =1-2(b1+b2)h, where b1,is the length of one base, b2 is the length of the other base, and h is the height. If the trapezoid has an area of 14 square units, solve for b in terms of the other variables.

  b1 = (28/h) -b2

Step-by-step explanation:

Filling in the given value for A, you have ...

  14 = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

Multiply by 2/h:

  28/h = b1 +b2

Subtract b2:

  b1 = (28/h) -b2

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
