Perimeter 2l + 2w. Using this we can find your inequality equation.
32 = 2(5.5) + 2w
32 = 11 + 2w
21 = 2w
w = 10.5
This means that when the perimeter is 32 in, the width is 10.5 in. We want to know when perimeter is 32 in or greater so we can simply do:
w > 10.5 because anything above 10.5 will increase the perimeter.
