Answer: C: 50 feet

Step-by-step explanation: The area of the basketball is 4700 square feet. We know that one side of the court is 94 feet long. To find the area for a rectangle, the formula would be Area=base times height. The "height" of this rectangle is 94 feet long. Now we need to find the base.

If you divide 4700 by 94, you will end up with 50 feet. To check, you multiply 50 by 94 and should end up with 4700. 50 feet is your base length.
