Let the length of the rectangle be l and it's breadth be b.
Now, area of a rectangle=length×breadth
So, area=lb
According to the given conditions,
(l+5)(b-4)=lb-160
➡lb-4l+5b-20=lb-160
➡ -4l+5b= -140----(1)
(l-10)(b+2)=lb-100
➡lb+2l-10b+20=lb-100
➡2l-10b= -80-----(2)
Multiplying (2) by 2,
➡4l-20b= -160----(3)
Adding (1) and (3),
➡ -15b=-300
➡b=20 m
Now, substituting b=20 m in (1),
-4l+5(20)=-140
➡-4l+100=-140
➡ -4l= -240
➡l=60 m
Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are as follows:
length=60 m
breadth=20 m
Area=60×20=1200 m²
