The perimeter of a standard basketball court is 288 ft. Find the dimension of the basketball court if its length is 44 ft. longer than the width.
**
let x=length of court
x-44=width of court
twice the length+twice the width=perimeter=288
2x+2(x-44)=288
x+x-44=144
2x=188
x=94
width=x-44=50
dimension of the basketball court: 94 by 50 ft
