A rectangle perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width.
P=2L%2B2W%3E=136
L=4%2BW

2L%2B2W%3E=136
2%284%2BW%29%2B2W%3E=136
8%2B2W%2B2W%3E=136
4W%3E=128
W%3E=32
The width must be at least 32m.
L=W%2B4
L%3E=36
The length must be at least 36m.
Check your question again, are you sure they're not asking for the range of values for the length and not the width???
