The perimeter of a square court is 39 yards. What is the length of each of its sides? Give your answer as a mixed number and a decimal
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'a' is the length of the side if the square court
P = 39 yd is the perimeter
P = 4a
4a = 39 divide both sides by 4
a = 39/4
a = (36 + 3)/4
a = (4*9 + 3)/4
a = 9 3/4 yd
a = 9 + 3/4
a = 9 + 0.75
a = 9.75 yd
