Worksheet 1

7 problems
  1. A technology company is designing a new smartphone with a rectangular screen. The screen's area is 216 square centimeters, and its length is 6 centimeters more than its width. The engineers need to calculate the exact dimensions to determine the phone's overall size. What are the dimensions of the screen in centimeters?
  2. Mason is designing a rectangular fountain on a coordinate grid. One corner of the fountain is at the origin (0,0), and the fountain extends along the positive x-axis and positive y-axis. The length along the x-axis is 8 meters more than the width along the y-axis. The area of the fountain is 84 square meters. Write a quadratic equation in standard form that represents this situation, then solve for the width by factoring.
  3. Mere is designing a rectangular patio that will be drawn on a coordinate grid. One corner is at the origin (0,0), and the adjacent sides lie along the positive x-axis and positive y-axis. The length along the x-axis is x meters, and the length along the y-axis is (x + 2) meters. The area of the rectangle is 48 square meters. Write a quadratic equation in standard form that represents this situation, then solve for x by factoring to find the dimensions of the patio.
