You can't; the most you can say is that the perimeter is at least 4sqrt(294)

Explanation:

If a rectangle is a square then it's perimeter is a minimum for a given area.

Some Sample Width-Length-Perimeter Combinations for Area = 294:
{: (bb"width",bb"length",bb"perimeter"), (1,294,590), (2,147,298), (3,98,202), (0.5,588,1177), (0.1,2940,5880.2) :}
