    Let the length be x ft, width=5x ft, height=x ft

    thus the volume will be:

    volume=length*width*height

    thus

    135=x*x*5x

    135=5x³

    solving for x we get:

    27=x³

    getting the cube root of both sides:

    ∛27=x³

    x=3 ft

    thus

    length=3 ft, height=3ft, width=3*5=15 ft
