A basketball court is shaped like a rectangle. It has a perimeter of 288 feet. The width of the court is 50 feet. What is the le
ngth of the court? Use the following formula to help you decide: Pr = 2l + 2w where Pr is the perimeter of a rectangle, l is the length, and w is the width
We know the perimeter and the length. The only unknown is the length. We write the given equation and substitute what we know. Then we solve for what we are looking for, the length.
