Answer:

80 Meters by 80 Meters

Explanation:

Perimeter is the distance around the rectangle. 60+60+100+100 = 320

The perimeter is 320 meters.

Area = Length times width

The area would be

100x 60 = 6,000
m^(2)

If we change the length and width to 80 meters we would have the same perimeter

80+80+80+80 = 320 Meters, but the area would be larger

Area = 80 x 80 = 6,400
m^(2)
