Answer:

Width of rectangle= 10.16 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting inches to centimeters

1 inch=2.54 cm

Perimeter of the rectangle= 22 inches= 22 * 2.54= 55.88 cm

Let the width of the rectangle be W.

Length of the rectangle is 3 inches more than its width i.e 3*2.54= 7.62 cm more than its width

So, length of the rectangle = W+7.62

Parameter of the rectangle = 2(Length+Width)

55.88 = 2(W+7.62+W)

55.88=2(2W+7.62)

55.88=4W + 15.24

55.88-15.24=4W

W=10.16 cm

Width of the rectangle is 10.16 centimeters.
