Chapter 14.6, Problem 22PPS

To determine

To calculate width of court.

Answer to Problem 22PPS

  $3x^2+10x$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Length= $6x^2+20x$

Calculation:

Let width of court be w ,

According to question,

Length=2×width

  $\begin{array}{l}6x^2+20x=2w\\ w=\frac{6x^2+20x}{2}\\ w=\frac{(2)3x^2+10x}{2}\\ w=3x^2+10x\end{array}$

Hence, width of court is

  $3x^2+10x$
