When you use the distance formula, you are building a right triangle whose connects two given points.

A. longer leg
B. hypotenuse
C. shorter leg
D. right angle

B. hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula.  We can rewrite the Pythagorean theorem as d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²) to find the distance between any two points this builds us our right angle, it is only then it connects to the hypotenuse,

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
