Answer:

7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is given by the equation

[tex]P=2(L+W)[/tex]

where

L is the length

W is the width

In this problem we have

[tex]P=16\ in[/tex]

substitute

[tex]16=2(L+W)[/tex]

simplify

[tex]L+W=8[/tex]

solve for L

[tex]L=8-W[/tex]

That means ----> The length of rectangle must be less than 8 inches

therefore

The values of 8 in, 9 in and 10 in are not possible or the length of the rectangle

The value of 7 in is possible for the length of the rectangle
