    Step-by-step explanation:

    perimeter is given by

    p=2L + 2W

    but from the expression; The length is 4 m more than the twice the width

    is written as L = 4+2W

    putting it in the formula

    p = 2 (4+2W) + 2W

    but perimeter was given as 44m

    44 = 8+4w+2w

    44=8+6w

    44-8=6w

    36=6w

    dividing through by 6

    w=36/6

    w=6m

    thus, the width is 6m

    put it in the expression L = 4+2W to get the length

    L = 4+2 (6)

    L=4+12

    L=16m

    thus the length is 16m
