Problema Solution

The perimeter of a regulation single tennis court is 210 feets and the length is 3 feet less than 3 times the width. what are the dimentions of the court

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'w' represent the width, then '3w-3' represents the length


perimeter = 2(l+w), where 'l' and 'w' are length and width, respectively


210 = 2(w + 3w-3)

solving for 'w' we have w=27


3*27-3 = 78


the width is 27 ft, the length is 78 ft
