Kyle has indoor basketball court. The rectangular court has a perimeter of 100 feet. The length of the court is 14 feet longer than the width. Find the length and width of the court?

Respuesta :

L=14+W
p=L+w
100=(14+W)+W
2W=86
W=43  L=57

The length and width of the court are 18 and 32 feet.

How to find the dimensions of the court?

Let L represent the length of the rectangular court and W represent the width of the rectangular court.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle;

2(L + W)

The rectangular court has a perimeter of 100 feet.

2(L + W) = 100

L + W = 100/2 = 50 - - - - - - - - - - 1

The length of the court is 14 feet longer than the width.

L = W + 14

Substituting L = W + 14 into equation 1, it becomes

W + 14 + W = 50

2W + 14 = 50

2W = 50 - 14 = 36

W = 36/2 = 18

Substituting W = 18 into L = W + 14, it becomes

L = 18 + 14 = 32 feet

Therefore,  the length and width of the court are 18 and 32 feet.
