Question

Mjhs is refinishing a basketball court and decided to paint everything shown below blue. How many square feet will be painted blue?

Answer 1

Mjhs needs 189.25 square feet of blue paint, approximately.

Explanation:

As you can observe in the image attached, the basketball court is a composite figure formed by a rectangle and half of a circle.

The rectangle has dimensions of 10 feet by 15 feet. The circle has a diameter of 10 feet.

The expression of this composite area would be

`A= w * l + (\pi ((l)/(2) )^(2) )/(2)`

Where
`w = 15 \ ft` and
`l = 10 \ ft`. Replacing these values, we have

`A= 15 * 10 + (3.14 ((10)/(2) )^(2) )/(2)\\ A=150 + (3.14 * 25)/(2)=150+39.25 \\ A \approx 189.25 \ ft^(2)`

Therefore, Mjhs needs 189.25 square feet of blue paint, approximately.
