    Let x be length and y be width

    from figure

    2x = 3y ... (1)

    area = (x+y) (2x) ... (2)

    from equation 1 we get

    y=2x/3

    putting this value in equation 2

    (x+2/3x) (2x) = area

    now given area=4000

    (x+2/3x) (2x) = 4000

    solving

    x^2 (10/3) = 4000

    x^2 = 1200

    x=1200^ (1/2)

    x=34.64

    x=35cm
