Question

College basketball is played on a court that is 94 feet long and 50 feet wide. The high school team has to do laps around the court's edge. What is the distance around the court?


268 feet



288 feet



318 feet



248 feet

Answer 1

Distance around the court=Perimeter
Perimeter is solved by P=2w+2l, where w is width and l is length
We know the width and the length, so we put it in the formula
P=2(50)+2(94)
P=100+188
P=288
