Point D is on segment BC. Segment BC measures 8x units in length.
C
D
B
3x + 8
4x + 10
What is the length of segment DB?

DB = 82

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 8 + 4x + 10 = 8x

7x + 18 = 8x

18 = 8x - 7x

18 = x

DB: 4x + 10

4 (18) + 10 = 82

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
