Application Problem #2

        Part A.) You are going to be setting your backyard up for a party. To find out how much you can fit in your backyard, you are figuring out the area that everything takes up and comparing it to the total area of your yard. You are trying to find out if your blow-up pool will fit in the backyard with everything that you want back there already.

What is the total area of the rectangular pool that has a length of 13X, and a width of 3X?

Figure:
             13X
       
3X  

Part B.) Will you be able to set it up if you only have 1000 square feet of space left for it, if X is equal to 5?

Part C.) What is the maximum value (an integer) that X can be equal to if you have 3200 square feet for the rectangular pool?
