    The length of the poster is 15 inches.

    The width of the poster is 12 inches

    To solve this, you would set the equation as

    180=1.25w*w

    Divide 1.25 from both sides

    144=w^2

    Square root both sides

    12=w

    So the width is equal to 12 inches.

    Next multiply that by 1.25 to get the length.

    12*1.25=15

    So the length equals to 15 inches.

    If you multiply 12 by 15, it will result in 180.
