Hello!
So, we know that the length of the rectangular basketball court is 84 ft, and the width is 50 ft.
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2l + 2w
This means that we need to multiply the length by two and the width by two as well.
Substitute:
P = 2(84) + 2(50)
P = 168 + 100
P = 268 ft
ANSWER:
The perimeter of the basketball court is 268 feet long.
80 = -1(80), -2(40), -4(20), -5(4),
Total answers include: -81, 79, -42, 16, -9, and 1.
None of them add up to 6!
Are you doing polynomial equations?
If so, you can solve it the hard way.
x^2 + 6x -80 = 0
(x^2 + 6x + 9) - 80 = 9
(x+3)^2 = 89
(x+3) = 9.43
x = 6.43
If you're not doing those then I'm afraid your question has no answer.
Hope that helps!
