Algebra.Com's Answer #163101 by drj(1380)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The length of the rectangular tennis court at Wimbledon is 6 feet longer than twice the width. If the courts perimeter is 228 feet,what are the courts dimensions\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Let w be the width and let w+6 be the length.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Perimeter P is when you add up all four sides of the rectangle. That is,\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Solving yields the following steps. Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide 4 to both sides of the equation\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "With w=54 then w+6=60 and P=54+54+60+60=228...which is a true statement.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. ANSWER. The width is 54 feet and the length is 60 feet.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope the above steps were helpful.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For FREE Step-By-Step videos in Introduction to Algebra, please visit http://www.FreedomUniversity.TV/courses/IntroAlgebra and for Trigonometry visit http://www.FreedomUniversity.TV/courses/Trigonometry.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Good luck in your studies!\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Respectfully, \n" ); document.write( "Dr J \n" ); document.write( " |
