Question

the basketball court in the park is rectangle two of the sides are 84 feet long and the other two sides are 50 ft long what is the perimeter of the basketball court

Answer 1

Hello!

So, we know that the length of the rectangular basketball court is 84 ft, and the width is 50 ft.

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2l + 2w

This means that we need to multiply the length by two and the width by two as well.

Substitute:

P = 2(84) + 2(50)

P = 168 + 100

P = 268 ft

ANSWER:

The perimeter of the basketball court is 268 feet long.
