A tennis court is 36 feet long and 78 feet wide. How many people could fit on just the tennis court? (Remember the expected floor space a standing person occupies is about 2.5 sq feet)

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 1123 persons

Explanation:

long = 36 ft

wide = 78 ft

Area = long x wide

Area = 36 x 78 substitution

= 2808 ft²

a standing person occupies 2.5 ft²

# of standing person in the tennis court = 2808 / 2.5

= 1123.2
