Just take every darn thing literally, like so:
L = 8 * 2W
L = 16W
The perimeter is of course:
P = 2L + 2W
Plug in everything you know:
94 = 2(16W) + 2W
94 = 34W
34 34
W = 37/17 ≈ 2.176
Since we already wrote a formula for L, we can plug in and get:
L = 16 * 37 / 17 ≈ 34.824
Assuming the question is copied correctly, this is your set of dimensions.
