Arectangular swimming pool that is 10 ft wide by 16 ft long is surrounded by a cement sidewalk of uniform width. if the area of the sidewalk is 155 ft2, what is its width? a = lw

rick would give her the best deal as he will charge $8.88 per hour

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
