Divide the perimeter by 2, this will give you the sum of one length and one width.

68/2 = 34 yards

Now the length is 10 yards more, so subtract 10 from the 34 and divide by 2 again:

34 - 10 = 24

24 /2 = 12

The width is 12 yards.

The length is 12 + 10 = 22 yards.

Your answer would be B.

The triangles would be congruent, because the lines GH and FI are congruent and the angle H and I are the same, and since the line HI is shared by the two, it would then be SAS.
