A basketball court in a scale drawing is 11.75in by 6.25in. What is the area of the basketball court with the scale 1 in= 8ft?
Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use a proportion to find the actual basketball court dimensions. It seems to be given: 1 inch = 8 feet.

Setup a proportion for the 11.75 inch.
Setup a proportion for the 6.25 inch.
Use the results to compute the area.

Since you are doing a test, the work needs to be YOUR job.
