Let L and W be the length and width of the given rectangle, respectively. Perimeter is calculated through the equation,
P = 2L + 2W
Substituting the perimeter,
36 = 2L + 2W
Simplifying,
18 = L + W
The area is calculated by multiplying the length and width as below,
A = 80 = LW
Substituting the expressions,
80 = (L)(18 - L)
The value of L from the equation is 8. With this, the value of W is equal to 10.
Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are 8 m by 10 m.
