Answer:
Therefore,
The actual area of the basketball court if the scale drawing is
11.75 inches by 6.25 inches is
[tex]\textrm{Area of basketball court}= 4700\ feet^{2}[/tex]
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,
[tex]Length = 11.75\ inches = 8\times 11.75=94\ feet[/tex]
[tex]Width = 6.25\ inches = 8\times 6.25=50\ feet[/tex]
Now Area of Court is shape of Rectangle,
[tex]\textrm{Area OF RECTANGLE}=Length\times Width[/tex]
Substituting the values we get
[tex]\textrm{Area of basketball court}= 94\times 50=4700\ feet^{2}[/tex]
Therefore,
The actual area of the basketball court if the scale drawing is
11.75 inches by 6.25 inches is
[tex]\textrm{Area of basketball court}= 4700\ feet^{2}[/tex]
