Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x,y be the sides of court.

2(x+y)=90

x+y=90/2=45

y=45-x

xy=500

x(45-x)=500

45x-x²=500

x²-45x+500=0

x²-25x-20x+500=0

x(x-25)-20(x-25)=0

(x-25)(x-20)=0

x=25,20

when x=25

y=45-x=45-25=20

when x=20

y=45-20=25

sides are 25 ft,20 ft.

Answer:

20 by 25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A = L·w

P = 2L + 2w

500 = Lw

90 = 2L + 2w

we could solve the first equation for 'w' and then substitute that value into the second equation:

w = 500/L

90 = 2L + 2(500/L)

90 = 2L + 1000/L

90 = (2L² + 1000)/L

multiply each side by L to eliminate it as the denominator

90L = 2L² + 1000

2L² - 90L + 1000

the zeros of this quadratic are 20 and 25

A = 20 x 25 which equals 500

P = 2(20) + 2(25) which equals 90

How do I solve this using the system of equations?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

length: 16 m; width: 13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Write each of the statements as an equation. You know that the formula for the perimeter is ...

P = 2(L +W)

so one of your equations is this one with the value of P filled in:

• 2L + 2W = 58

The other equation expresses the relation between L and W:

• L = W +3 . . . . . . . . the length is 3 meters greater than the width

There are many ways to solve such a system of equations. Since you have an expression for L, it is convenient to substitute that into the first equation to get ...

2(W+3) +2W = 58

4W +6 = 58 . . . . . . . simplify

4W = 52 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6

W = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4

We can use the expression for L to find its value:

L = 13 +3 = 16

The length is 16 meters; the width is 13 meters.
