Two numbers, whose different is 12, add up to 60. identify the smaller number.

36+24 = 60

24 is the smaller number.

You can solve for this by adding half the difference to (60/2).

I.E. 30+6 = 36.

36 - 12 = 24

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
