The perimeter of the rectangle is

where, l be the length of the rectangle and

b be the width of the rectangle.

Now,

As per the problem,

Let, the width be , so the length be

So,

The perimeter is =

According to the problem,

Therefore,

the width of the court is 25 ft and length = 2×25 = 50 ft

Hence,

The length and width of the basketball court is 50 ft and 25 ft respectively.
