An NBA basketball is 94 m long and 50 meters wide. make a scale drawing of a court using 1 / 4 inch: 10ft? I need help on my hmwrk geometry, I'm new and do not get it and can someone showed me how you got the answer plizz!
1 / 4 inch = 10 ft.
Thus, divide the actual dimensions by10 feet, then multiply by 1 / 4 to get the number of inches.
94/10 = 9.4
The length is 9.4 * 1 / 4 "= 2.35 cm
In the U.S. most leaders are divided into 1/4s, 1/8s, 1/16s and
So you should use a mark between 2 5 / 16 (2.3125) and 2 3 / 8 (2.375).
11/32 = 0.34375 is very close if you have a rule that divides finely.
The width is easier: * 50 / 10 1 / 4 = 5 / 4 = 1 1 / 4 "
