Question

The perimeter of a college basketball court is 78 meters and length is twice as long as the wudth, what are the length and width

Answer 1

Length (L): 2w

width (w): w

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

78 = 2(2w) + 2(w)

78 = 4w + 2w

78 = 6w

13 = w

Length (L): 2w = 2(13) = 26

Answer: width = 13 meters, length = 26 meters
