Answer 2

The short dimension is 74 the long one is 154 solved like this: you have this 2 equations 1) lenght = width x 2 + 6 2) lenght + width = 228 Change lenght for "1" you get 3) width x 2 + 6 + width = 228 which gets simplified as follows: width x 3 + 6 = 228 width x 3 = 222 width = 222 / 3 width = 74

Tennis is played on a rectangular, flat surface, usually grass, clay, or a hardcourt of concrete and/or asphalt. The court is 78 feet (23.77 m) long, and its width is 27 feet (8.23 m) for singles matches and 36 feet (10.97 m) for doubles matches. Additional clear space around the court is required in order for players to reach overrun balls. A net is stretched across the full width of the court, parallel with the baselines, dividing it into two equal ends. The net is 3 feet 6 inches (1.07 m) high at the posts, and 3 feet (914 mm) high in the center
