Question

for a singles match, a tennis court is 78 feet long and 27 feet wide. which calculation would give the perimeter of a tennis court for a singles match? 2·78 + 27 2·78 + 2·27 27·78 78 + 27

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula

A tennis - court is rectangular. The perimeter formula for a rectangle is $P = 2l+2w$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.

Step2: Identify length and width values

Given $l = 78$ feet and $w = 27$ feet.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

Substituting into $P = 2l + 2w$, we get $P=2\times78+2\times27$.

Answer:

$2\cdot78 + 2\cdot27$
