2. 120,
3. 120,
4. 180.
Explanation:
- The fence means perimeter around the court. So a tennis court's perimeter is 600 feet fence. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2 times the sum of the rectangle's length and the rectangle's width.
- It is given that length equals 60 more than width i.e. l = w + 60, where l is the length of the court and w is the width of the court.
- The perimeter of a court = 600 = 2 (l + w) = 2l + 2w = 2 (w +60) + 2w, this becomes, 2w + 120 + 2w = 600; 4w = 480, w = 120.
- Since l = w + 60, l = 120 + 60 = 180. So length of a court is 180 feet and the width of a court is 120 feet.
5 feet is how far the ladder reaches
36 and 12
36+12=48 and 36-12=24
Cut a line between the triangle and rectangle
area of rectangle is length x width
8x5=40
area of triangle is base x height divide by 2
5x5=25
25 divide by 2 is 12.5
add them together
40+12.4 = 52.4
