The court is a rectangular area with a flat, hard surface. The length of the court is 28 meters (92 feet), and the width is 16 meters (52 feet). The court is divided into two halves by a mid-court line. The free throw line is 5.8 meters (19 feet) from the backboard and 1.8 meters (6 feet) from the side lines. The three-point line is 6.75 meters (22 feet 1.75 inches) from the basket for international games and 7.24 meters (23 feet 9 inches) for NBA games. The basket is 3.05 meters (10 feet) high and is attached to a backboard that is 1.8 meters (6 feet) wide and 1.05 meters (3 feet 5 inches) high.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because the length of the court is 28 meters, not 27 meters.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because the width of the court is 16 meters, not 15 meters.<\/p>\n<p>Option C is incorrect because the length of the court is 28 meters, not 26 meters.<\/p>\n<p>The dimensions of the basketball court are important because they affect the game in a number of ways. For example, the length of the court determines how far players have to run to get from one end to the other. The width of the court determines how much space players have to maneuver. The distance of the free throw line from the basket determines how difficult it is to make a free throw. The distance of the three-point line from the basket determines how difficult it is to make a three-point shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;27 m x 16 m&#8221;
