Let the width of the court be x ft.
Then the length of the court is 2x ft.
The perimeter of the court is given by:
Perimeter = 2(width) + 2(length)
177 = 2(x) + 2(2x)
177 = 2x + 4x
177 = 6x
x = 29.5 ft
Therefore, the width of the court is 29.5 ft and the length is 2(29.5) = 59 ft.
7. A recreational court is twice as long as it is wide. If the perimeter is 177 ft, find the dimensions of the court.
