Let the length be (x+2) and the width be x:
length*width = 2(length+width)
(x+2)*x = 2(x+2+x)
x2+2x = 4x+4
x2+2x-4x-4 = 0
x2-2x-4 = 0
Solving the above quadratic equation gives a positive value of 3.236067977 for x.
Therefore: length = 5.236067977 cm and width = 3.236067977 cm
Check: length*width = 16.94427191 cm2 and 2(length+width) = 16.94427191 cm
