The length of basketball court is 32 meters and width is 13 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 90 meters
Let w be the width
Length = l = 2w + 6
As basketball court are in rectangular shapes, therefore,
Perimeter = 2(length+width)
[tex]90=2(2w+6+w)\\90=2(3w+6)\\90=6w+12\\90-12=6w\\6w=78[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 6;
[tex]\frac{6w}{6}=\frac{78}{6}\\w=13\ meters[/tex]
Length = 2w+6
[tex]l=2(13)+6\\l=26+6\\l=32\ meters[/tex]
The length of basketball court is 32 meters and width is 13 meters.
