Answer:

200 squared meters.

Explanation:

Since we know the court is a rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:


A=lw

Where l is the length and w is the width.

We are given that the length is 20 meters and the width is 10 meters. Substitute:


A=20(10)

Multiply:


A=200\text{ meters}^2

So, the area of the court is 200 squared meters.
