Hi
Let x and (2x+8m) represent width and length respectively
   x(2x+8m) = 188m
   2x^2 + 8x - 188 = 0
   x^2 + 4x - 94 = 0
{{{x = (-b +- sqrt( b^2-4*a*c ))/(2*a) }}}
{{{x = (-4 +- sqrt(392 ))/(2) }}}   Tossing out negative solution for length
   x =  7.9m, the width. Length is 23.8m      Note: 7.9*23.8 = 188 (to neaarest whole number)
