Answer:
Length = 28 m
Width = 15 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Court is rectangular in shape.
Now, we are told that;
Length is 2m less than twice the width(W) .
Thus;
Length; L = 2W - 2
We are told the perimeter is 86 m.
Formula for perimeter of a rectangle is;
P = 2(L + W)
Thus;
2((2W - 2) + W) = 86
Divide both sides by 2 to get;
(2W - 2) + W = 43
3W - 2 = 43
3W = 43 + 2
3W = 45
W = 45/3
W = 15 m
Thus; L = 2(15) - 2
L = 30 - 2
L = 28 m
