_____
If you're choosing possibilities from a list, trying them in the equations usually gives quick results.
Answer:
length=45 m (2 sides = 90m)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x +3x=144
8x=144
x=18 (each of the 8 parts of 144 measure 18m)
5(18) + 3(18)=144
90 +54=144
90/2=45 (1 length side)
54/2=27 (1 width side)
The rectangle= 45+45 +27+27 = 144
