The perimeter of the rectangle is less than 32 cm. The length of the rectangle is 11 cm. Estimate the width of the rectangle.

Let’s denote the width of this rectangle through x.
According to the condition of the problem, the length of this rectangle is 11 cm, and its perimeter is 32 cm.
The perimeter of any rectangle is equal to twice the sum of the length and width of this rectangle, therefore, we can make the following equation:
2 * (11 + x) = 32.
We solve the resulting equation and find the width of this rectangle:
11 + x = 32/2;
11 + x = 16;
x = 16 – 11;
x = 5 cm.
Answer: The width of this rectangle is 5 cm.
