A high school basketball court is 84 feet long and 50 feet wide. What is the diagonal length of the court? Answer by Jstrasner(112) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hey,
For this one we use the pythagorean theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Therefore:
84^2 + 50^2 = c^2
7056 + 2500 = c^2
9556 = c^2
97.75 = c
Therefore:
The diagonal is about 98 feet long
I hope this helps!
