I think the answer is A what about y’all? i know i could be wrong

  A.  15.250

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable trig function is the cosine function:

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(57°) = y/28

  y = 28×cos(57°) ≈ 15.24989

  y ≈ 15.250 . . . . matches choice A

Additional comment

From your knowledge of "special" triangles, you know that y would be 14 if the angle were 60°. Of course, the length must be shorter than 28, so answer choices B and C are immediately eliminated. The fact that the length is closer to half of 28 than it is to 28 makes choice A look like a pretty good guess.

answer: finding the extract measurements and knowing the points

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
