the length of the rectangular tennis court at wimbledon is 6 feet longer than twice the width. If the court's perimeter is 228 feet, what are the court's dimension?

Sagot :

width = w
length = 2w + 6
Perimeter = 228 = 2(l+w)

228 = 2(l + w)
114 = l + w
114 = (2w + 6) + w
114 = 3w + 6
38 = w + 2
36 = w
2(36) + 6 = 78 = l

The dimensions of the court is 78 by 36 ft.
