Solution

Sure, here are the steps to solve the problem:

  1. First, we need to find the actual length and width of the basketball court. Since 1 inch equals 8 feet on the scale, we multiply the drawing length and width by 8.

    Actual length = 11.75 inches * 8 feet/inch = 94 feet Actual width = 6.25 inches * 8 feet/inch = 50 feet

  2. Next, we find the actual area of the basketball court by multiplying the actual length and width.

    Area = length * width = 94 feet * 50 feet = 4700 square feet

So, the actual area of the basketball court is 4700 square feet.
