- Solve the following word problems.
Question 1 ↴
➜ Area of the lot = 2x² + 7x + 3 cm²
➜ Width of the garden = 2x + 1 cm.
➜ Length of the garden = y
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
✪ Area of a rectangle = length × width
⇒ length = area ÷ width
⇒ y = 2x² + 7x + 3 ÷ 2x + 1
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
WORKING ↷
✯ Length of the garden = x + 3 cm.
▨▧▨▧▨▧▨▧▨▧▨▧▨▧▨▧▨
Question 2 ↴
➜ Area of the frame = 4x² - 4xy + y² cm²
➜ Length of the side of the frame = s
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
✪ Area of a square = side²
⇒ 4x² - 4xy + y² = s²
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
WORKING ↷
✯ Length of the side of the frame = 2x - y cm.

Question 3 ↴
➜ Length of the rectangle = x + 5 cm
➜ Width of the garden = x + 3 cm.
➜ Area of the garden = a
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
✪ Area of a rectangle = length × width
⇒ a = (x + 5) × (x + 3)
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
WORKING ↷
✯ Area of the rectangle = x² + 8x + 3 cm².
▨▧▨▧▨▧▨▧▨▧▨▧▨▧▨▧▨
Question 4 ↴
➜ Length of the side of a square = x + 6 cm
➜ Area of the square = a
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
✪ Area of a square = side × side
⇒ Area of a square = side²
⇒ a = (x + 6)²
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
WORKING ↷
✯ Area of the square = x² + 12x + 36 cm².
