Bocce is a lawn bowling game that originated in italy. the bocce court below has an area of 1032 square feet. the width of the court is 12 feet. what is the length of the court

86 feet

Assuming the court is rectangular in shape then

area = length × width

length = area / width = = 86 feet

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
