Explanation
Given data
- Context: International (FIBA) rules for Olympic and World-level play.
- Asked: Standard basketball court size in metres.
Concept/Approach International basketball (FIBA) specifies a rectangular court whose length and width are fixed standards.
Step-by-step reasoning • Under FIBA regulations, the court is 28 metres long. • The width is 15 metres. • Therefore, the correct size is 28 m × 15 m.
Verification This differs from the NBA court (approximately 28.65 m × 15.24 m), but the international standard remains 28 m × 15 m.
Common pitfalls Mixing NBA sizes with FIBA sizes or rounding to nearby even numbers.
Final Answer 28 m × 15 m
