Problema Solution
the perimeter of a basketball court is 96 meters and the length is 6 meters longer than twice the width. What are the lenth and width
Answer provided by our tutors
we know that the basketball stadium has a rectangular shape
P = 96 m the perimeter of the rectangular stadium
l = the length of the rectangular stadium
w = the width of the rectangular stadium
P = 2(l + w)
2(l + w) = 96 divide both sides by 2
l + w = 48
the length is 6 meters longer than twice the width
l = 6 + 2w
by solving the system of equations
l + w = 48
l = 6 + 2w
we find
l = 34 m
w = 14 m

the length is 34 meters.
the width is 14 meters.
