What is the perimeter of a swimming pool that is 97 feet in length and 17 feet wide?
- A.
  
  211 sq ft
- B.
  
  1,649 ft.
- C.
  
  228 ft
- D.
  
  114 ft
Correct Answer
C. 228 ft

Explanation
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the swimming pool has a length of 97 feet and a width of 17 feet. To find the perimeter, we add twice the length and twice the width: 2(97) + 2(17) = 194 + 34 = 228 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 228 ft.
