8

Step-by-step explanation:

3²-2•3 +5 = 9 - 6+5 = 8

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

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x
