    Width = 12 cm

    Length = 14 cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Rectangle:

    Let the width = x cm

    So, the length = (x+2) cm

    Perimeter = 52 cm

    2 * (l+b) = 52

    2 * (x+2 + x) = 52

    2 * (2x + 2) = 52

    2x + 2 = 52 / 2

    2x + 2 = 26

    2x = 26 - 2

    2x = 24

    x = 24/2

    x = 12

    Width = 12 cm

    Length = 14 cm
