The length of a rectangular swimming pool is (8\text{ m}) more than its breadth and its area is (273\text{ m}^2). What is the perimeter of the pool?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (68\text{ m})
Let the breadth be (x\text{ m}), then (x(x+8)=273). This gives (x=13) and length (21), so the perimeter is (2(13+21)=68\text{ m}).
