Problem of the Day: April 29, 2010

In badminton, the court dimensions (for doubles) are 20 ft wide and 44 feet long. When a player serves, they must serve the birdie into the service court. The service court is half the width of the full court, and begins 6 ft 6 inches from the net and extends to the baseline. What percentage of the full court is one service court?

Hint: It may help to make a sketch or find a picture of the badminton court.
