Answer

$45\ m$ by $90\ m$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. There are only three sides of the rectangle, let $x$ be the length of the two equal opposite sides, the third side will have a length of $180-2x$. Step 2. The area is given by $A=x(180-2x)=-2(x^2-90x)$ Step 3. The maximum will happen when $x=-\frac{-90}{2}=45$ Step 4. Thus the dimensions are $45\ m$ by $90\ m$
