The length of the rectangular tennis court at wimbledon is 6 feet longer than twice the width. if the court's perimeter is 240 f
KATRIN_1 [288]

Length (L): 2w + 6

width (w): w

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

               240 = 2(2w + 6) + 2(w)

               240 = 4w + 12 + 2w

               240 = 6w + 12

               228 = 6w

                 38 = w

Length (L): 2w + 6   = 2(38) + 6   = 76 + 6   = 82

Answer: width = 38 ft, length = 82 ft
