Peter is tiling his bathroom shower. he will be tiling 3 walls on the shower and the fourth side will have a glass door. The shower measures 3 feet by 5 feet and the tiles will go 7 feet high. The glass door measures 5by7 feet. The tiles are 4 inches by 4 inches so there are 9 tilers per square foot it is recomended that he should purchase 10% more than the number of tiles to fill the srea in case any tiles break or need to be cut or replaced later

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

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x
