Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula 2(length + width). Given the width is 11 meters and the perimeter must be no greater than 50 meters, we can set up the inequality: 2(length + 11) ≤ 50. Solving for length gives length ≤ 14 meters. Therefore, the greatest possible value for the length is 14 meters.
