Find the area of the shape shown below.

A = 15u²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Trapezoid Formula:

Plug in our values (h = 3, b1 =  7, b2 = 3)

Now we evaluate

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
