Going Camping

• Going Camping
• The Situation
• You and several of your closest friends are on a
  camping trip. You find a beautiful area along the
  banks of an amazingly straight river. You have 60
  feet of rope and four flag poles you can use to
  mark off a rectangular boundary for your camp
  site. Because one side of your site is against
  the river, you only need to rope off three sides.
  
• Your Task
• Before you lay out the rope, you need to plan
  where to put the poles so that you and your
  friends have the greatest possible area for your
  site.
• Create a table showing all possible widths and
  lengths for your camp
  site
• Identify any patterns you notice
• How does the length change as the width
  increases?
