Q3 Mathematical Ability A fenced basketball court is surrounded by a path of uniform width 2 m. If the area of the path is 188 yed, then the total length of fencing around the court will becin ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The total length of the fencing will be 161.68 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the basketball court is rectangular in shape.

Also, 1 meter = 1.09 yards

Given: Width of path, $b$ = 2 m

                    (in yards)   = 2 × 1.09

                                      = 2.18 yards

Area of the path = 188 yards

Since the area of the path = $l \times b$

⇒ $188=l\times b$

⇒ $188=l\times 2.18$

⇒ $l=\frac{188}{2.18}$

⇒ $l=86.23$ yards

Now,

The total length of the fencing around the court = perimeter of the path

= $2(l+b)$

= $2(86.23+2.18)$

= 176.82 yards

= 161.68 m

Therefore, the total length of the fencing will be 161.68 m.
