Question

sharon is participating in basketball practice with her basketball team. She knows that running 40 laps around the rectangular basketball court is equal to running a kilometer (3,280 feet). In addition, the court has an area of 408 square feet. If Sharon's coach tells her to run the length of the longer edge of the basketball court, how many feet must Sharon run

Answer 1

Sharon would have to run 24 ft.

Explanation:

Begin by finding the perimeter by dividing 3,280 by 40.

Then eliminate D and E because they are larger than the total perimeter, and then plug in the remaining values into the perimeter and then see which also gives you the area.

This is how you get the answer 24 ft.

Hope this helped :D
