Natalie plans to have tile put on her kitchen floor. the area to be covered with tile is 12 1/2 feet long and 11 feet wide. natalie calculates thsi area and adds an additonal 10% to makes sure she has enough tiles.
part a: what is the area in square feet, of natalies floor including the additional amount?
feet

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
