The formula of a perimeter of a rectangle:

$P=2(l+w)$

We have:

$P=120\ in\\\\l=w+10$

Substitute

$2(w+10+w)=120\\\\2(2w+10)=120\ \ \ \ |:2\\\\2w+10=60\ \ \ \ |-10\\\\2w=50\ \ \ \ |:2\\\\w=25\\\\l=25+10=35$

<h3>Answer: Length = 35 in, Width = 25 in.</h3>

First, find the area of the triangle. The height is 9 and the base is 33. So, multiply the base times height, which is 297. Now, divide 297 by 2. This equals 148.5. Secondly, find the area of the rectangle. Multiply the length times the width. 38•20= 760. Now, add the areas of the two shapes. 148.5+760= 908.5. So, 908.5 is your final answer. :)
Hope this helps!
