An artist creates a right prism whose bases are regular decagons. He wants to paint the surface of the prism. One can of paint can cover 32 square feet. How many cans
of paint must he buy if the height of the prism is 11 ft and the length of each side of
the decagon is 2.4 ft? The area of a base is approximately 89 ft.

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
