Answer:

1,080 meters squared.

Explanation:

Let's say the breadth of the rectangle is x. That means the length of it is 6/5x.

The perimeter is 132 meters. The formula for the perimeter is 2 times the breadth plus two times the length.

2(x) + 2(6/5x) = 132

2x + 12/5x = 132

10/5x + 12/5x = 132

22/5x = 132

22x = 660

x = 30.

That means that the breadth of the rectangle is 30 meters, and the length is (6/5) * 30 = 6 * 6 = 36 meters.

The formula for the area of the rectangle is the breadth times the length, so the area is 36 * 30 = 1,080 meters squared.

Hope this helps!
