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 area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l = 94$ ft and $w = 76$ ft. So $A=94\times76$.

Step2: Calculate the area

$A = 94\times76=7144$ square - feet.

Step3: Recall perimeter formula for rectangle

The perimeter formula for a rectangle is $P=2(l + w)$. Here $l = 94$ ft and $w = 76$ ft, so $P = 2(94 + 76)$.

Step4: Calculate the perimeter

First, $94+76 = 170$. Then $P=2\times170 = 340$ feet.

Step5: Determine wood - amount measure

The amount of wood needed to cover the court is related to the surface area of the court, so we use area.

Step6: Determine tape - amount measure

The amount of tape needed to go around the court is related to the distance around the court, so we use perimeter.

Answer:

(a) Area: $7144$ square feet
Perimeter: $340$ feet
(b) Area
(c) Perimeter
