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( "\"P=w%2Bw%2Bw%2B6%2Bw%2B6=228\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4w%2B12=228\"\r
\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( "\"4w%2B12-12=228-12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4w=216\"\r
\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( "\"4w%2F4=216%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"w=54\"\r
\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
