Answer 1

Given a rectangle with sides "a" and "b":

The area of the rectangle is:

`A=ab`

The perimeter of the rectangle is:

`P=2a+2b`

Given the sides of the rectangle:

a = 74 ft

b = 93 ft

(a)

The area of the rectangle is:

`\begin{gathered} A=74ft*93ft \\ A=6882ft^2 \end{gathered}`

The perimeter of the rectangle is:

`\begin{gathered} P=2*74ft+2*93ft \\ P=148ft+186 \\ P=334ft \end{gathered}`

(b) The wood will cover all the area of the court, then the area must the used.

(c) The tape will be placed around the court, then the perimeter must be used.

Answer:

(a)
