Question

a basketball court is a rectangle with a perimeter of 1040 feet. The length is 200 feet more than the width. What is the width and length of the basketball court?

Answer 1

Length = width + 200

$x + x + x + 200 + x + 200 = 1040 \\ 4x + 400 = 1040 \\ 4x = 640 \\ x = 160$
Length = 160 + 200 = 360 feet

Answer :
Width = 160 feet,
Length = 360 feet

Hope this helps. - M

Answer 2

If you do 1040-400 you get 640
then you need to divide that by 4 to get 160 leaving you with the width, to get the length you have to add 200 to the width meaning the length is 360

length = 360
width = 160
