Old courts may have 1.20 m high backboards (3.93701 feet), whose base is 2.75 m (9.02231 feet) from the ground. Are you able to convert 9.02231 feet into inches without a calculator? Well, 2.75 meters are just 275 centimeters. Isn't it nice?
The basket is 305 cm from the ground; this makes 10.00656 feet, but according to my converter 0.00656 feet is just 2 mm, which is almost negligible, isn't it?
