Question

A basketball court measures $26m$ by $14m$. Find the perimeter and area of the court.

Answer 1

Step 1: Perimeter of the basketball court

Length of the basketball court $=$$26m$

Breadth of the basketball court$=$$14m$

Perimeter of the basketball court $=2(l+b)$

$$\begin{gathered} =2(26+14) \\ =2\times 40 \\ =80m \end{gathered}$$

Step 2: Area of the basketball court

Length of the basketball court $=$$26m$

Breadth of the basketball court$=$$14m$

Area of the basketball court $=l\times b$

$$\begin{gathered} =26\times 14 \\ =364m^2 \end{gathered}$$
