Problema Solution
The perimeter of a badminton court is 128ft. After a game of badminton, a player's coach estimates that the athlete has run a total of 488ft, which is equivalent ot seven times the court's length plus mine time its width.
The length is ____feet and the width is _____feet.
Answer provided by our tutors
let x be the length y be the width
x + y = 64 ( from perimeter)
7x + 9y = 488
solving these we get
x = 44, y = 20
so length = 44 ft, width = 20 ft
