Write a statement that declares a reference variable abend suitable for holding a reference to an Exception object and initialize it to an Exception object whose message is "ABEND 013".

Exception abend = new Exception( "ABEND 013");

Step-by-step explanation:

There are few ways of declaring and initialising a variable.

First, the variable is Initialised along side the declaration statement.

Second, the variable is first declared on a line then Initialised on another line.

The syntax for (1) is

Variable-type Variable-name = new Variable-type ("value");

With this, the question becomes

Exception abend = new Exception( "ABEND 013");

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
