Answer:
40 m and 24 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the ratio be 5x:3x.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)
Given Perimeter = 128 m
=> 2(5x+3x) = 128
=> 8x = 128/2
=> 8x = 64
=> x = 8
Hence, the dimensions of the field are 40 m and 24 m.

S O L U T I O N :
Given,
- The length and breadth of a rectangular field are in the ratio 5:3.
- It's Perimeter is 128 m.
To Find,
- The dimensions of the rectangular field.
Explanation,
Given, the length and breadth of a rectangular field are in the ratio 5:3.
Let,
- Length of a rectangular field be 5x.
- Breadth of a rectangular field be 3x.
Given, It's perimeter is 128m.
We know that,
Perimeter of a rectangular field = 2(l + b)
⇒ 128 = 2(5x + 3x)
⇒ 128 = 2(8x)
⇒ 128 = 16x
⇒ x = 128/16
⇒ x = 8
Now,
The length of a rectangular field = 5x
⇒ 5 × 8
⇒ 40 m
The breadth of a rectangular field = 3x
⇒ 3 × 8
⇒ 24 m
Therefore,
The dimensions of the rectangular field is 40 m and 24 m respectively.
