This may be a tricky question. How long is the 3 point line. If you straightened out the High School 3 point line (arc), it would measure over 72 feet 6.53 inches. The length of the NCAA or NBA court is 94 feet to give perspective. My 2nd answer: 19 feet 9 inches from the center of the goal to the far side of the arc for High School basketball, 20 feet 9 inches for NCAA, and 23 feet 9 inches from behind the arc to the center of the goal for NBA basketball courts.
The NBA introduced the three point line in the 1979-80 season at a length of 23'9" from the top of the key to a length of 22 feet in the corners. In the 1994-95 season, the NBA changed things so the three point line was a uniform 22 feet from the basket. The distance was reverted to 23'9" in the 1997-98 season and has been there ever since. The 19'9" distance is the distance of the college basketball three point line, which will be changed to 20'9" for the 2008-09 season

In professional basketball, the distance of the three-point line varies by league. In the NBA, the three-point line is approximately 7.24 meters (23.75 feet) from the basket at its farthest point, while in international play (FIBA), it is set at 6.75 meters (22.15 feet). College basketball also uses a distance of 7.24 meters.
The three point line distance in women's college basketball is 19 feet 9 inches. Men's basketball three point line distance is also 19 feet 9 inches. however, that will change to a distance of 20 feet 9 inches beginning in the 2008-2009. The three point line distance in women's basketball will not change. The Playing Rules Oversight Panel also approved moving the women's 3-point line in all three divisions back a foot to 20 feet, 9 inches for the 2011-12 season.
The 3 point line is 23 feet 9 inches at the top of the key and 22 feet from the corners
20 feet 9 inches, same as all NCAA three point lines
The NBA distance from the three point line to the goal is 23.750-feet. The distance in college and high school basketball is 19-feet, 9-inches. An NBA court is 90-feet by 50-feet.
It is measured from the center of the hoop.
A WNBA basketball court measures 94 feet long and 50 feet wide, which is the same size as an NBA court. The three-point line is 22 feet away from the basket at the top of the arc, and 21.75 feet in the corners. The free-throw line is 15 feet from the backboard, and the key, or paint area, is 16 feet wide. Additionally, the height of the basketball hoop is 10 feet, similar to other professional leagues.
Most courts are or have been 19 feet, but since the NCAA changed the college 3-point line from 19 to 20 feet, many open gyms are changing to 20 as well. An NBA 3-point line is 23 3/4 feet away.
