A right triangle has side lengths 12 centimeters and 14 centimeters. Name two possible side lengths for the third side, and explain how you solved for each.
.

If 12 and 14 are both side lengths then we solve for the hypotenuse:

hypotenuse^2 = 12^2 + 14^2

hypotenuse^2 = 144 + 196

hypotenuse^2 = 340

hypotenuse = sq root (340) = 18.4390889146

If hypotenuse = 14, then third side equals:

(3rd side)^2 = 14^2 - 12^2

(3rd side)^2 = 196 -144

(3rd side)^2 = 52

3rd side = sq root (52) = 7.2111025509

Step-by-step explanation:

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
