17. You want to paddle a canoe across a small lake and want to know how far it is to the other side. You take measurements on your side of the lake
and make the drawing shown. What is the distance x across the lake?

chad should not have included the values (1, 2) and (3, 6) because that would mean he only had half a healing card.

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

b
