Denise build two seawall to keep rising the water from her house. The first is 8.75 meter long. The second is 37.5 percent longer than the fist. How long is the second seawall?

12.0 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The first is 8.75 meters long

Let us find 37.5% of  8.75

=37.5/100*8.75

=0.375*8.75

=3.28125

Hence the Second seawall is

=3.28125+8.75

=12.0 meters

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
