Answer:
The actual area of the basketball court is;
[tex]A=4700\text{ }ft^2[/tex]Explanation:
Given that the scale of the drawing is;
[tex]1\text{ inch }\rightarrow8ft[/tex]And the dimension of the basketball court on the scale drawing is;
[tex]11.75\text{ inches by 6.25 inches}[/tex]The actual dimension will be;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 11.75\text{ }\times8ft\text{ by 6.25 }\times8ft \\ 94\text{ ft by 50 ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the actual area of the basketball court will be;
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=l\times w \\ A=94\times50\text{ }ft^2 \\ A=4700\text{ }ft^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]The actual area of the basketball court is;
[tex]A=4700\text{ }ft^2[/tex]
