Initially , I didn't notice that small point in .5 ,however then saw it clearly.

Let the width be denoted by x x .

Area=length × breadth \text{Area=length}\times\text{breadth} , so 2 = 0.5 × x 2=0.5\times x . Therefore, x = 2 0.5 = 4 x=\dfrac{2}{0.5}=\boxed{4} .

a r e a = l e n g t h × w i d t h area = length~\times width

2 = 0.5 × w i d t h 2 = 0.5~\times width

w i d t h = 4 width=4
