Which expression shows the perimeter of a rug that is 5 yards in length and 3 yards in width? a.2(5x3) b.2(5+3) c , 2(5-3) d.2(5/3)

For this case we have that the rug is rectangular.

By definition, the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Where:

a, b: Represent the sides of the rectangle

Substituting according to the data we have:

Thus, the correct expression is option B.

Option B

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
