A standard basketball court measures 94 feet long by 50 feet wide (NBA regulation size). To calculate how many laps around the court make up a mile, we first need to find the perimeter of the court.
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 × (94 + 50)
Perimeter = 2 × 144
Perimeter = 288 feet
A mile is 5,280 feet. To find how many laps equal a mile:
5,280 ÷ 288 = 18.33
So, you would need to run about 18.33 laps around a standard NBA basketball court to complete a mile.
