    Length = 45 feet

    Width = 20 feet

    Explanation:

    Let the length of the court be 'L' and width be 'B'

    Given:

    According to the question

    2 (L + B) = 130

    or

    L = 65 - B ... (1)

    and,

    3L + 9B = 315

    or

    L + 3B = 105 ... (2)

    from 1 and 2

    65 - B + 3B = 105

    or

    2B = 40

    or

    B = 20 feet

    And,

    L = 65 - B

    or

    L = 65 - 20

    or

    L = 45 feet
