    Length = 32 feet

    Width = 12 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The length of a rectangle is eight more than twice its width.

    The perimeter is 88 feet.

    Let's say the width (w) is x feet

    The length (l) will be 2x + 8

    Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

    So 2 (2x + 8) + 2x = 88

    4x + 16 + 2x = 88

    6x + 16 = 88

    6x = 88 - 16

    6x = 72

    x = 12

    So the width is 12 feet.

    The length is 2 (12) + 8 = 32 feet
