The dimensions that satisfy both the perimeter and area conditions are 8 feet by 10 feet. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by 2(length + width), and the area is given by length * width. For option A, 2(8 + 10) = 36 feet for the perimeter, and 8 * 10 = 80 square feet for the area, which matches the problem's conditions.
