Answer:

160meters^2

Explanation:

You know the perimeter is 56, and there are four sides. Two of the sides are the same (16 and 16), and the other two sides are the same. Add 16 to 16 and then subtract it from 56 to get the remaining two sides. 56 - 32 = 20. 20 needs to be split in half to find the other two sides. Now you know the sides are 16, 16, 10, and 10. Multiply Length by width (16 times 10) and you get 160 meters (squared) as the total area.
