8 inches or greater.
Since the maximum width is 6 inches, twice that is no more than 12. The minimum perimeter is 28, (28 - 12)/2 = 8, so 8 inches must be the minimum length.

4 sides.
Sides come 2 pairs (length and width) of equal amounts
total of all sides =28 or greater
1 side = or less than 6 (therefor 2 sides = or less than 12)
28-12 = minimum total of other two (length) sides
(28-12)/2=minimum length of 1 side.
do the rest yourself I only help not do for you.

2L + 2W = P
2L + 2(6) = 28
2L = 16
L = 8 inches (would be the smallest length)
so 8 inches or greater
L = length
W = width
P = perimeter
