The sides of the quadrilateral are consecutive numbers.
If the perimeter is 160, how long is each side ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Write an equation as you read the problem


    n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) = 160

           4n + 6             = 160

           4n                 = 160 - 6 = 154

            n                           = 154/4 = 38.5


and you see that there is no solution in integer numbers.


It means that the problem is a FAKE : such a quadrilateral as described DOES NOT EXIST.
