Answer:

7 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

2L + 2W = 16

Try L = 7

2(7) + 2W = 16

14 + 2W = 16

2W = 2

W = 1

If the length is 7 in., then the width is 1 in. That is perfectly acceptable, so L = 7 in. is a good value.

Try L = 8

2(8) + 2W = 16

16 + 2W = 16

2W = 0

W = 0

A length of 8 would make a width of 0. You can't have a rectangle with 0 width, so L = 8 does not work.

When L = 9 or L = 10, the width would be negative. The width of a rectangle cannot be a negative number, so these values doe not work.

Answer: 7 in.
