Answer:
15 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
To find the perimeter of a rectangle we have to add all the sides
l + l + w + w = p
We know the length is 6 inches more than the width
l = w + 6
We can put w + 6 for l
w + 6 + w + 6 + w + w = p
We can simplify this
4w + 12 = p
The perimeter is no more than 48
4w + 12 = 48
Subtract 12 from both sides
4w = 36
Divide both sides by 4
w = 9
Now we can put 9 in for w in the equation to find the length
l = 9 + 6
l = 15
The answer is 15 inches
Hope this helps!
