Surface area of pool =\( l*w = 2160 =2^4*3^3*5\)

Max(l+w): When the factors are farthest apart.
Lowest factor greater than 10 is 12. So the pair with 12 will give us max l+w.
\( 2160 =2^4*3^3*5=(2^2*3)*(2^2*3^2*5)=12*180\)
Perimeter = 2(l+w) = 2(12+180) = 384

Min(l+w): When the factors are closest.
Here square root of 2160 would help us. \(\sqrt{2160}\) is between 40 and 50. So the pair with factor between 40 and 50 will give us min l+w.
\( 2160 =2^4*3^3*5=(2^4*3)*(3^2*5)=48*45\)
Perimeter = 2(l+w) = 2(45+48) = 186

Range: 384-186 = 198

(A) 192
(B) 198
(C) 216
