Question

A basketball court is being painted. The entire section below will be painted blue. Determine how many square feet of paint will be used

Answer 1

Answer:

145.12 ft squared will be painted blue.
So the answer is B.

Explanation:

The area of the rectangle is 120 ft2 because 8 ft x 15 ft = 120 ft2

The area of the semi-circle is
because 3.14 x 4 (the radius) squared (or 16) is 50.24, then you divide it by 2 since it’s a semi-circle. 50.24 divided by 2 is 25.12.

Then you add the areas:

120 ft squared + 25.12 ft squared = 145.12 ft squared
