A ladder of 6m rests with it's foot on a horizontal ground and leans against a vertical wall. The imclination of the ladder to the horizontal is 80 degree. Find correct to 1d. P. (a) The distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall (b) The height above the ground at which the upper end of the ladder touches the wall.

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
