Question

On a scale drawing of a basketball court, 1 inch equals 8 feet. What is the actual area of the basketball court if the scale drawing is 11.75 inches by 6.25 inches? Enter your answer in

the box.

Answer 1

11.75 * 8 = 94 feet

6.25 * 8 = 50 feet

Area of a rectangle = l * w

l = length

w = width

For our problem,

Area = 94 feet * 50 feet = 4,700 square feet
