The rectangular backboard of a basketball court needs to be assembled. Its area is given as 18,900 cm2 and the width as 1.8 m.
What is the backboard’s length in metres
1.89 / 1.8
To find the length of the backboard in meters, we first need to convert the given area from cm² to m².
1 m = 100 cm
Given Area = 18,900 cm²
So, Area in m² = 18,900 cm² * (1 m / 100 cm)² = 18.9 m²
Now, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle to find the length:
Area = length * width
Substituting the given values:
18.9 m² = length * 1.8 m
Dividing both sides by 1.8 m:
length = 18.9 m² / 1.8 m
length = 10.5 m
Therefore, the backboard's length is 10.5 meters.
