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
