Calculating Area and Perimeter of a Basketball Court

Medium Measurement Perimeter And Area

A rectangular basketball court measures 28 meters in length and 15 meters in width. The local sports committee is planning to build a new court with the same dimensions. To find the area that will be covered by the court, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:

$A = l \times w$

After calculating the area, the committee also plans to paint a line around the perimeter of the court. To find the perimeter, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, given by:

$P = 2(l + w)$

Using these dimensions, what is the total area in square meters and the total perimeter in meters of the basketball court?
