Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore,

The actual area of the basketball court if the scale drawing is

11.75 inches by 6.25 inches is

$\textrm{Area of basketball court}= 4700\ feet^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Drawing Scale of a basketball court,

1 inch = 8 feet

To Find:

Actual area of the basketball court if the scale drawing is

11.75 inches by 6.25 inches = ?

Solution:

Scale is given as

1 inch = 8 feet

Therefore actual length and width in feet will be,

$Length = 11.75\ inches = 8\times 11.75=94\ feet$

$Width = 6.25\ inches = 8\times 6.25=50\ feet$

Now Area of Court is shape of Rectangle,

$\textrm{Area OF RECTANGLE}=Length\times Width$

Substituting the values we get

$\textrm{Area of basketball court}= 94\times 50=4700\ feet^{2}$

Therefore,

The actual area of the basketball court if the scale drawing is

11.75 inches by 6.25 inches is

$\textrm{Area of basketball court}= 4700\ feet^{2}$
