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.

Answer:
- dimensions: 12 ft by 5 ft
- area: 60 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the shorter dimension in feet. Then the longer one is x+7 and the Pythagorean theorem tells us the relation of these to the diagonal is ...
x² + (x+7)² = 13²
2x² +14x + 49 = 169 . . . . eliminate parentheses
x² +7x -60 = 0 . . . . . subtract 169 and divide by 2
(x +12)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the equation
x = -12 or +5 . . . . . . . only the positive value of x is useful here.
The short dimension is 5 ft, so the long dimension is 12 ft. The area is their product, 60 ft².

<em>Comment on finding the area</em>
The quadratic equation above can be rearranged and factored as ...
x(x +7) = 60
Since the dimensions of the garden are x and (x+7), this product is the garden's area. This equation tells us the area is 60. We don't actually have to find the dimensions.
