    Length is 30cm

    Width is 13cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the width be x cm;

    The length will be 2x + 4 cm

    Perimeter = 86cm

    Perimeter is given by (2 * length) + (2 * width)

    2 (2x + 4) + 2x = 86cm

    4x + 8 + 2x = 86cm

    6x = 86 - 8 = 78cm

    x = 78/6 = 13cm

    Width (x) = 13cm

    Length = 2 (13) + 4 = 26 + 4 = 30cm
