Andrew is using three pieces of scrap wood to build a wall shelf in his bathroom. The shelf will be shaped like a triangle, and the pieces of scrap wood measure 12 inches, 15 inches and 9inches long. Will the shelf be shaped like a right triangle? * yes or no

The answer is yes

Step-by-step explanation:

12=a

9=b

15=c

a+b=c

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
