x=2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC and ΔADE are similar.

∴ sides are proportional.

x = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the triangles are similar

We can use ratios to solve

x          x+9

=

1            5

Using cross products

5x = 1(x+9)

5x = x+9

Subtract x

5x-x = x+9-x

4x= 9

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 9/4

x = 9/4

y=mx+b

step-by-step explanation:

m slope, b y-intercept

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
