Problema Solution

The perimeter pf a basketball court is 90 meters and the length is 6 meters longer than twice the width. What are the length and width?

Answer provided by our tutors

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


let 'w' represent the width in meters, then '2w+12' represents the length in meters

90 = 2(w + 2w+12)

solving for 'w' we have w=11


2*11+12 = 34


the court is 11 meters wide and 34 meters long
