Answer 1

Width of joses basketball court is 11.63 feet

Solution:

Given that area of joses basketball court is 125 ft to the second power

Area of basket ball court = 125 square feet

length of the basketball court is
`10(3)/(4)` feet

To find: width of joses basketball court

The formula for area of basketball court is given as:

`area = length * width`

Substituting the given values in above formula, we can find width of basketball court

`125 = 10(3)/(4) * width\\\\125 = (4 * 10 + 3)/(4) * width\\\\125 = (43)/(4) * width\\\\width = (125 * 4)/(43)\\\\width = (500)/(43) = 11.63`

Thus width of joses basketball court is 11.63 feet
