How many feet is half court in basketball?

44 ft 46 ft 47 ft 50 ft

Correct Answer:

47 ft

Explanation:

Half-court distance is half of the court’s total length. On a standard NBA/NCAA basketball court, the court is 94 feet long, so the midcourt line sits 94 ÷ 2 = 47 feet from either baseline. That’s why 47 feet is the correct choice. The other numbers would come from different total court lengths (for example, half of 88, 92, or 100 feet), which aren’t standard dimensions; note that some smaller courts (like certain high school layouts) are shorter, such as 84 feet, which would make half-court 42 feet.
