the perimeter of a school volley ball court is 177 feet and the length is twice the width . what are the dimensions of the court ?
let width = x
length = 2x
perimeter = 2(l+b)
177 feet = 2(2x+x)
177 feet = 2*3x
177 feet = 6x
x = 177/6 feet
x= 59/2 feet
x= 29.5 feet
width = 29.5 feet
length = 29.5 * 2 = 59
