To find the scale factor, we need to compare the length of the image to the actual length of the basketball court. Let's assume that the length of the image is $x$.
According to the given information, the actual length of the basketball court is $94$ feet. So we have the equation $x=94$.
Dividing both sides of the equation by the actual length, we get $$\dfrac{x}{94} = \dfrac{94}{94} \Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{94} = 1.$$So the scale factor is $\boxed{1:1}$.
A basketball court is 94 feet long. If the image is a scale drawing of a basketball court which scale factor might the drawing be
