Answer :

Answer:

The length of the court is 94 feet and width of the court is 50 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Perimeter of rectangular basketball court = 288 feet

Let l be the length and w be the width of court.

Then, we can write:

[tex]w = l-44[/tex]

The perimeter of court is given by:

[tex]P=2(l+w)[/tex]

Putting values, we get,

[tex]288 = 2(l+l-44)\\\Rightarrow 144 = 2l - 44\\\Rightarrow 2l = 188\\\Rightarrow l = 94\\\Rightarrow w = l - 44 = 94 - 44 = 50[/tex]

Thus, the length of the court is 94 feet and width of the court is 50 m.
