So, basically you are looking for the perimeter.

P = 2(length + width)

50 + 94 = 144

144 x 2 = 288

The player ran 288 feet or 96 yards.

Hope this helps. :)

Answer:

288 feet far did the player run

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangle(P)  is given by:

[tex]P = 2(l+w)[/tex]

where, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

A professional basketball court is in the shape of a rectangle. It is 50 feet wide and 94 feet long.

⇒ l = 94 feet and w = 50 feet

It is also given that A player ran one time around the edge of the court

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

[tex]P = 2(94+50) = 2(144) = 288 feet[/tex]

Therefore, 288 feet far did the player run
