Question

What is the total area of the entire basketball court shown in the below figure?

Answer 1

Hint: In this question, we have the dimension of the NBA basketball court. We have to find the entire area of the basketball court.
We can see that the given basketball court is rectangular in shape.
Since the length and breadth of the basketball court are given in the figure itself, we will find the area of the entire court by the area of the rectangle formula.
Area of rectangle \[ = \] Length \[ \times \]Breadth

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the figure given, we can see that the basketball court is rectangular.

The given standard basketball court dimension is given as \[94\] feet long by \[50\] feet wide.
Now, if we consider the dimension of the standard basketball court by the figure given above, we have,
Length \[ = \]\[94\] feet
Breadth\[ = \]\[50\] feet
We have the formula,
Total area of the entire basketball court \[ = \] Length of the court \[ \times \] Breadth of the court
Now putting the value of above we get,
Total area of the entire basketball court \[ = \] \[94 \times 50\]
 \[ = 4700\] sq. feet
Therefore, the total area of the entire basketball court is \[4700\]sq. feet.

Note:
• Before solving the question always inspect the value properly from the figure which is asked to find.
• In this type of figure-based question, there are so many values which are given but inspect what is asked.
• Always remember the formula of the area according to the figure which is asked. If in this question you are given a rectangular field then you have to find the area of the rectangular field only.
