length = 8cm

Width = 4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be represented by x.

Since the length of a rectangle is twice as long as the width of the rectangle, then the length will be: = 2 × x = 2x

Note that, Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Therefore,

2x × x = 32

2x² = 32

Divide both side by 2

2x²/2 = 32/2

x² = 16

x = ✓16

x = 4

Therefore, width = 4cm

Since length = 2x

Length = 2 × 4cm = 8cm

Check: length × width = Area

8cm × 4cm = 32cm²
