The parts of the basketball court are: the three-point line, the key, the base line, the free throw line, the sideline and the half-court line.
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

From the center of the goal to the backboard it is 1 foot 3 inches. 13' 9" + 1' 3" = 15 ' Typical placement of the backboard is to have its back 15 feet from the back of the free throw line, and inside the base line by 4 feet.
