Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by $2l + 2w$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width. Given that the length is 11 inches greater than the width ($l = w + 11$), and the perimeter is 62 inches, we can set up the equation $2(w + 11) + 2w = 62$. Solving for $w$, we find that the width is 10 inches.
