Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
40+88+15=128+15=143
There are three rectangles that compose this shape. The first one has side lengths of 5 & 8 (l times w=a 5 times 8=40, area of the rectangle is 40). The second one has side lengths of 8&11 (8 times 11=88, area is 88). Final rectangles has side lengths of 16-(8+5) and 5 (16-13=3, 3 times 5=15, Area=15). All three of those rectangles added up is 143 as an area of the figure.
One option for the final answer is 30 and 22...
I think I would use the second answer that you provided
Let L be the length
Let w be the width
Let p be the perimeter
L+w+L+w=p
L=w+20
3L+2w+3L+2w=240
Sub the first equation in for L in the second equation and solve for w
3(w+20)+2w+3(w+20)+2w=240
3w+60+2w+3w+60+2w=240
10w+120=240
10w=240-120
10w=120
W=120/10
W=12
Sub w into the first equation and solve for L
L=w+20
L=12+20
L=32
Hope this helps!
