Answer:

Width is 11 inches

Explanation:

I am not sure what the question is. I think you might be looking for the width length. The perimeter is the distance around a rectangle. If the whole distance around is 48. We have 2 lengths and 2 widths. They tell us that the length is 13. We have two lengths so the lengths add up to 26. We can subtract that from 48 and that leaves us with 22 (48-26) This is the total for the 2 widths. Since the 2 widths are the same length we divide that number by 2 to get 11.

11 + 11+ 13 + 13 = 48
