Dimensions x and y;
p=66
xy=270
Use A=xy

The question happens often as an academic exercise.
A, p known.
x, y unknown.

2x+2y=p and xy=A.

You can continue symbolically like this and use formula for solution of a quadratic equation, or you can substitute the given values for p and A now, and reach your values for x and y.

The dimensions are 15 and 18.
