To approach a runway of Lovefield Airport in Dallas, the pilot must begin a 3 degree descent starting from a height of 2714 feet above sea level. The airport is 487 feet above sea level. To the nearest tenth of a mile, how far will the airplane need to fly diagonally in order reach the runway as it makes its approach?

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
