    So here is the solution of the given problem above.

    To find the area we are just going to use this formula. A = L x W.

    Let x be the width and 2x is the length. Given that the area is 8 square meters. So let us find x first.

    Plug in the values:

    8 = (2x) (x)

    8 = 2x^2 << divide both sides by 2 and we get

    4 = x^2

    Then square 4 and x^ 2 and we got

    2 = x

    Therefore, the width of the room is 2 meters and the length 2x is 4 meters. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
