Answer:

Length, l = 10 m, breadth = 8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length and b be the width of the rectangle.

The area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

80 = lb ...(1)

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

36 = 2(l+b)

18 = (l+b) ....(2)

We need to solve equation (1) and (2). On solving we get :

l = 10, b = 8

So, the dimensions of the shop is 10 m and 8 m.
