Answer: W=25 and L=50

Step-by-step explanation: I first started out with 50, because 50 is half of 100. 50 divided by 2 equals twenty five. Now, I moved on to 100. 100 divided by 2 equals 50. 25+25+50+50=150.

Answer:

<em>The width of the basketball court is 25 feet and the length is 50 feet</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations:</u>

Let's make:

x = width of the basketball court

2x = length of the basketball court

The perimeter of the court is twice the width plus twice the length:

P = 2x + 2(2x)

P = 2x + 4x = 6x

It's known to be 150 feet, thus:

6x = 150

Dividing by 6:

x = 150/6

x = 25 feet

2x = 50 feet

The width of the basketball court is 25 feet and the length is 50 feet
