Step 1: Define variables for the dimensions of the table tennis top. Let \(L\) represent the length and \(W\) represent the width.
Step 2: Write an equation for the perimeter of the rectangle. The perimeter \(P\) is given by \(P = 2L + 2W\). Since the perimeter is 28 feet, write the equation as \(2L + 2W = 28\).
Step 3: Write an equation for the difference between 4 times the length and 3 times the width. This is given as \(4L - 3W = 21\).
Step 4: Solve the system of equations formed by the two equations: \(2L + 2W = 28\) and \(4L - 3W = 21\). You can use substitution or elimination methods to find \(L\) and \(W\).
Step 5: After solving the system, interpret the values of \(L\) and \(W\) as the length and width of the table tennis top, respectively.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Perimeter of a Rectangle

The perimeter of a rectangle is the total distance around the shape, calculated as 2 times the sum of its length and width (P = 2(L + W)). This formula helps relate the dimensions of the table tennis top to the given perimeter value.

Forming and Solving Systems of Linear Equations

When given multiple conditions involving length and width, we can form a system of linear equations. Solving these equations simultaneously allows us to find the exact dimensions that satisfy all conditions.
