    Answer: The dimensions are length 600metres and breadth = 300 metres

    Explanation:

    Area of rectangle = l * b

    L b = 180,000

    b = 180,000/L ... equation 1

    Perimeter of rectangle = 2L + b

    P = 2 (180,000) / L + L

    P = 360,000/L + L

    dp/dL = - 360,000/L^2 + 1

    L^2 = 360,000

    L = Squareroot of 360,000

    L=600m

    b = 180,000/600

    b = 300m
