From a reliable source, the ratio between the width and the length of the tennis court is equal to 5:12. We let x be the common factor of the given ratio such that the width is equal to 5x and the length is equal to 12x. 

The perimeter of the figure is calculated through the equation,
              P = 2L + 2W
where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width. 

Substituting the derived expressions to the equation above.

             228 = (2)(12x) + 2(5x)
                x = 114/17
The width and length are calculated below.
     Width = (5)(114/17) = 570/17 ft = 33.53 ft
     Length = (12)(114/17) = 1368/17 ft = 80.47 ft

Thus, the dimensions are approximately 33.53 ft and 80.47 ft.

Answer:

(5,2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+4y+2z = -3

2x-4y-z=0

y = 3x-13


Multiply the second equation by 2

2*(2x-4y-z)=0*2

4x -8y -2z =0

Add this to the first equation to eliminate z

-3x+4y+2z = -3

4x -8y -2z =0

-------------------------

x -4y = -3

Take the third equation and substitute it in for y

x - 4(3x-13) = -3

Distribute the 4

x - 12x +52 = -3

Combine like terms

-11x +52 = -3

Subtract 52 from each side

-11x +52-52 = -3-52

-11x = -55

Divide by -11

-11x/-11 = -55/-11

x=5

Now we can solve for y

y =3x-13

y =3*5 -13

y = 15-13

y=2

Now we need to find z

2x-4y-z=0

2(5) -4(2) -z=0

10-8 -z=0

2-z=0

Add z to each side

2-z+z= 0+z

2=z

x=5, y=2, z=2

Russell runs 9/10 mile in 5 minutes. At this rate, how many miles can he run in one minute?
miss Akunina [59]
9/50 is the answer I think!

I converted 9/10 to decimal to make it easier for me to solve and got 0.9

I divided 0.9 by 5 and got 0.18

I converted 0.18 to fraction and got 9/50
