Question

2. The perimeter of a college basket ball court is 96 m and the length is 14m

more than the width. What are the dimensions?

Answer 1

Explanation:

A college basketball court is 96 feet by 50 feet. In meters this is approximately 29 meters by 15 meters. While you are correct that the length is 14 meters more than the width, the actual perimeter is 88 meters.

Answer 2

Perimeter = 96 = 2 × (L+W)

96=2× (X+X+14)

96=2×(2x+14)

96=4x+28

96-28=4x

68=4x

/4

68/4=x

17=x the width

length = 17+14= 31m
