Question

The area of a racquetball court is 800 square feet.The length of a standard court is twice as its width. What are the dimensions of a standard racquetball court?

Answer 1

Given - area of a racquet ball court is 800 square feet.

length is the twice of the width

find out thedimensions of the racquet ball court.

To proof -

Formula

area of a rectangle = length×breadth

as given inthe question the length of court is twice of its width .

let assume width be w

than length become 2w

put in the formula

w×2w = 800 ft²

2w² = 800 ft²

w =
`√(400)` ft

w = 20 ft

Than the length become 40 ft.

Hence proved
