6L + 9W = 444 ___ 2L + 3W = 148
subtracting equations ___ W = 20
substitute to find L Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter=2Length+2Width
128=2L+2W
444=6L+9W
----------------
6L+9W=444
6L+6W=384
----------------
3W=60
W=20
L=44
The standard badminton court is 44'X 20'.
