Launch- High School Vs. College B-ball
A standard size high school basketball court is 84ft
long and 50ft wide in the shape of a rectangle.
84 ft
50 ft
To find the area of the court you can
use the formula of A=l  w
A = 84 ft  50ft

Summary- The Distributive Property
The Distributive Property
The Distributive Property is a property in mathematics which
helps to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside
parenthesis.
Check it out!
Lets use the distributive property to write an equal expression.

Assessment- Exit Slip
Who correctly used the distributive property to
write an equivalent expression?
Provide evidence to support your answer.
Riley
7( 4  10  y )  7 4  7 10  y
Michael
7( 4  10  y )  7 4  7 10  7 y
Michael
 did because he correctly distributed
the 7 to all terms inside the parenthesis.
