Question

The perimeter of a basketball court is 114 meters and the length is 6 meters longer than the width. What are the length and width?

Answer 1

let it's width be x
then, the length = x+6

perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (l+b)
114 = 2 (x + x +6)
114= 4x + 12
102 = 4x
25.5 = x



width of the court = x = 25.5m
length of the court = x+6 = 25.5+6 = 31.5m
