Question

the figure below shows a rectangular court. (a) use the calculator to find the perimeter and area of the court. make sure to include the correct units. perimeter: area: (b) a strip of tape will be placed around the court. which measure would be used in finding the amount of tape needed? o perimeter o area (c) the court will have a wood floor. which measure would be used in finding the amount of wood needed? o perimeter o area

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula for rectangle

The formula for the perimeter $P$ of a rectangle is $P = 2(l + w)$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width. Here, $l=93$ ft and $w = 74$ ft.
$P=2(93 + 74)$

Step2: Simplify the expression

First, add the numbers inside the parentheses: $93+74 = 167$. Then multiply by 2: $P=2\times167=334$ ft.

Step3: Recall area formula for rectangle

The formula for the area $A$ of a rectangle is $A=l\times w$. Substitute $l = 93$ ft and $w=74$ ft.
$A=93\times74$

Step4: Calculate the area

$93\times74=(90 + 3)\times74=90\times74+3\times74=6660+222 = 6882$ ft².

Step5: Answer part (b)

The amount of tape around the court is related to the perimeter. So the measure used is perimeter.

Step6: Answer part (c)

The amount of wood for the floor is related to the area. So the measure used is area.

Answer:

(a) Perimeter: 334 ft, Area: 6882 ft²
(b) Perimeter
(c) Area
