The scale used to measure the model of a basketball court is 1 inch : 25 feet. If the actual court is 100 feet, we can calculate the length of the model by using the scale.

Length of the model = (Length of the actual court) / (Scale)
Length of the model = 100 ft / 25
Length of the model = 4 ft

Therefore, the length of the model is 4 feet.

Similarly, if the actual width of the model is 40 feet, we can calculate the actual width by using the scale.

Width of the actual court = (Width of the model) * (Scale)
Width of the actual court = 40 ft * 25
Width of the actual court = 1000 ft

Therefore, the actual width of the court is 1000 feet.

The correct answer is:
A. Length: 4 ft Width: 1000 ft
