- The singles back boundary line: 1.98 meters (6 feet 6 inches) from the back boundary
- The doubles back boundary line: 0.78 meters (2 feet 6 inches) from the back boundary
- The center line: 0.04 meters (1.3 inches) wide and running perpendicular to the net, dividing the court into two equal halves
- The service line: 1.98 meters (6 feet 6 inches) from the net and parallel to it, marking the area where the serve must land
- The short service line: 0.78 meters (2 feet 6 inches) from the net and parallel to it, marking the area where the serve must pass over
2. The purpose or use of the lines in a badminton court are:
- The singles and doubles sidelines mark the outer boundary of the court, determining whether a shuttlecock is in or out of play.
- The singles and doubles back boundary lines indicate the limit of the area where a player can move while returning a shot.
- The center line divides the court into two halves and is used to determine which side of the court a player must serve from.
- The service line marks the area where the serve must land, and the short service line marks the area where the serve must pass over, ensuring that the serve is made correctly.
- All the lines combined create specific areas on the court, such as the front and backcourt, allowing players to strategically position themselves during play.
