If you use/make a number line, then you will see that the answer is -18 or a. When using a number line, negative = ← and positive = →.
Perimeter of a square=4*side length
160=4*side length
40=side length
Therefore, 39.99999 (repeating 9s) is the maximum side length in feet for the perimeter to be less than 160. If it was 40 feet as the side length, then it would not be less than 160.
Hope this helps!
