Copy of IM 7.1.7 Lesson: Scale Drawings

This is a scale drawing of a basketball court. The drawing does not have any measurements labeled, but it says that 1 centimeter represents 2 meters. Use this app to help you answer the questions that follow.

Measure the distances on the scale drawing that are labeled a–d to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. Record your results in the first row of the table.

Answer each question with the value only, in metres. (Do not write the units)

How long is the actual court?

How wide is the actual court?

What is the distance between the 3-point line and the sideline?

Just for fun - use the slider to compare the heights of some of the world's tallest structures.
