Question

Adrianna has a court to play basketball with her friends.

The it is 600 square feet. It is 30 feet long. How many feet across is
court?​

Answer 1

20 feet across.

Explanation:

You will have to do a simple equation solve.

x is how many feet across the court is.

* could be our multiplying sign

600 = 30*x

Now divide 30 on both sides. 30 will cross out (since 30/30 is 1 and anything times 1 is the same number as it was before) on the right side and 600/30 is 20 so we change the 600 to 20.

That leaves 20 = x.

So it is 20 feet across.

Answer 2

Hey there!

The area of a rectangle is the length times width.

Thus, we can write the equation, 600=30w.

Solving for the width, we get that the width is equal to 20 ft.
