Question

The perimeter of a school volleyball court is $177ft$ and the length is twice the width. What are the dimensions of the volleyball court

Answer 1

Let length and width be l and b respectively. Then $l=2b$ $⟶\left(1\right)$

Perimeter of court $=177ft$.

$\Rightarrow 2(l+b)=177$

$\Rightarrow 2(2b+b)=177$

$\Rightarrow 6b=177$

$\Rightarrow b=\frac{177}{6}=29.50$ft

$\therefore l=2\times 29.50=59$ ft.

$\therefore$ Length of court $=59$ft and width $=29.50$ft.
