91.97m or approximately 92 meters.

1) Considering that the basketball court is a rectangle, then we can write:

S= w*l Plug into that the given information

492.61 =29w Divide both sides by 29

w=16.98655172 meters

2) Since we have the width and the length, then we can find the Perimeter (the sum of all sides) writing this formula:

2P = w+w+l+l

2p=2w +2l

2p =2(w+l) Plug into that the given information

2p=2(16.9865 +29)

2p=91.97

2p ≈ 92 meters

3) So the Perimeter (2p) of that Basketball court is 91.97310345 meters or approximately 92 meters.
