Question

The Duke Blue Devils basketball team plays home games at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The court is in the shape of a rectangle. If the length of the court is (5.8a+6.1b-3.6c) feet and the width of the court is (434b-235c) feet, then what is the perimeter of the court?

Answer 1

11.6a + 880.2b - 477.2c

Explanation:

Given:

length of the court = (5.8a+6.1b-3.6c) feet

width of the court = (434b-235c) feet

Since the court is said to be rectangular in shape :

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

Perimeter = 2(5.8a+6.1b-3.6c + 434b-235c)

Perimeter = 2(5.8a+6.1b+434b-3.6c-235c)

Perimeter = 2(5.8a + 440.1b - 238.6c)

Perimeter = 11.6a + 880.2b - 477.2c
