Area of a tennis court

Question

The area of a rectangle equals length times width. A singles tennis court has an area of 2106 ft2 and a width of 27 ft. Find the length.

Answer 1

Area = 2106 square feet

Width = 27 feet

 

Area of a rectangle = Length times width                

 

 

So, given this information, you now need to plug in the values that you know:

 

2106 = Length times 27   (Do you see that I plugged in the values I was given?  Now you need to solve for "Length".

2106=27L   (now divide both sides by 27.)

 

78 = L         

 

So the Length of the tennis court is 78 feet.
