Step-by-step explanation:

Lawrence is making a pillow that has a five-sided design. The sides measure 18in, 12in 14 1/4in,12in and 14 1/4. What is the sum of the five sides of this pillow in simplest form

The sum of the 5 sides =

(18 + 12 + 14 1/4 + 12 + 14 1/4) inches

= 18 + 12 + 14+ 12 + 14 + (1/4 + 1/4)

= 70 (2/4)

= 70 1/2 inches

The sum of the five sides of this pillow in simplest form is 70 1/2 inches

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
