Answer: The width of the court needs to be 5.32 inches to maintain proper proportions.

Step-by-step explanation: We make the length of court 10 inches. Now let us convert 94 feet in the ratio of 10 inches. We can convert 94 feet into 10 inches by dividing the number 94 with 9.4

Therefore

Thus, divide 50 feet with 9.4 feet. So that you can maintain proper proportion in drawing.

Hence, the width of the court needs to be 5.32 inches to maintain proper proportions.
