Answer.....15ft by 12ft

Explanation:

Area = Length × Width

180 = LW....make W the subject of formula

;W = 180/L

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

54 = 2L + 2(180/L)...sub W with the formula above...

then simplify the equation and obtain...

2L^2 - 27L + 180 = 0....then solve using the quadratic formula....then obtain..

;L = 15ft....after obtaining L = 15...then substitute into the W = 180/L equation...

where W = 180/15 = 12ft

there you have...Length = 15ft and Width = 12ft
