The length of the picture frame is less than 14.5 inches.

<h3>What is the perimeter of the rectangle?</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle is defined as the addition of the lengths of the rectangle's four sides.

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L+W)

Let the width of the picture frame is b

So length = b +3

The perimeter of the picture frame (p) as

⇒ 2 (b + b+3)

⇒ (2b+3)

⇒ 4b+6

Given that perimeter is less than 52 inches.

⇒ p < 52

⇒ 4b + 6 < 52

⇒ 4b < 46

⇒ b < 11.5

So, the length = b+3 =11.5 + 3 = 14.5

Hence, the length of the picture frame is less than 14.5 inches.
