Answer: The perimeter of the rectangle is 52 inches

Step-by-step explanation: If the area is 160 square inches, and one side of the rectangle is 10 inches the other side of the rectangle must be 16 inches long because length times width is area and 10 times 16 is 160 and if the shape is a rectangle, then the sides are even which means that 2 sides are 10 inches long and 2 sides are 16 inches long and 10+10+16+16=52
