Answer:

Length  =25 inches

Width = 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length of rectangle, w = width of rectangle

Given the area and the perimeter of the rectangle, we can write:

lw = 375

2l+2w=80

So:

l+w = 80\div2

=40

l=40-w

Now, we can use substitution to find the value of w:

lw = 375

(40-w)w = 375

40w-w^2 = 375

375+w^2-40w = 0 (Quadratic equation)

(w-15)(w-25) = 0

∴ w = 15, 25

We can use substitution again to find the value of l

lw = 375

l=375\div w

=25,15

∵ Length usually refers to the longer side of a rectangle, ∴ length =25 inches and width =15 inches.

Hope this helps :)
