Question

The length of a basketball court is 84 feet, and the perimeter is 268 . What is the width of the basketball court?

Answer 1

Answer: 50 ft

Explanation:

First, subtract the given length from the perimeter:

*268 - (84 x 2) = 100

Then divide this by 2:

100 / 2 = 50

*We multiply the 84 by 2 since the court is assumed to have 4 sides meaning there are two sides with lengths and two sides with widths.
