Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for rectangle

The formula for the area of a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width. From the image, assume length $l = 76$ ft and width $w=41$ ft. So $A=76\times41 = 3116$ square - feet.

Step2: Recall perimeter formula for rectangle

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is $P=2(l + w)$. Substitute $l = 76$ ft and $w = 41$ ft into the formula: $P=2(76 + 41)=2\times117 = 234$ feet.

Step3: Determine wood - amount measure

The amount of wood needed for the floor is related to the surface covered, so we use the area.

Step4: Determine tape - amount measure

The tape is placed around the court, so we use the perimeter.

Answer:

(a) Area: $3116$ square feet
Perimeter: $234$ feet
(b) Area
(c) Perimeter
