On a map, the scale shown is 1inch:5miles. If an island is 75 square inches on the map, what is the actual area of the island?

1 inch = 5 miles

1 square inch =25 square miles

25 square miles x 75 square inches = 1,875 square miles

Answer : 1,875 square miles

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
