Dear student,
 
Let the length and breadth of the rectangular field be l and b.
According to the given information,
2(l + b) = 80
l + b = 40   ... (1)
Original Area = lb
 
Now, the new length = l - 2
new breadth = b + 2
New Area = (l - 2) (b + 2)
 
According to the given information,
(l - 2) (b + 2) = lb + 36
lb - 2b + 2l - 4 = lb + 36
2(l - b) = 40
l - b = 20   ...(2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get:
2l = 60
l = 30 So, b = 10
 
Thus, the length and breadth of the rectangular field are 30 m and 10 m respectively.
 
We hope that clarifies your query.
