Solution

The document includes a set of quadratic equation problems that need to be solved using the quadratic formula. Below are the main problem categories:

  1. Quadratic Equations (Question 1 and 2): Solve various quadratic equations and give answers rounded to either 1 or 2 decimal places.

  2. Rectangular Geometry Problems (Questions 3 to 4): These problems ask for the width and length of rectangles (gardens, fields, playgrounds) where either the area or specific relationships between dimensions are provided.

  3. Triangles (Question 7): Solve for xx in right-angled triangle scenarios.

Would you like help solving any specific problems from the document or need further clarification on using the quadratic formula?

Here are five follow-up questions:

  1. Do you need a walkthrough for solving one of the quadratic equations in Question 1?
  2. Would you like help solving the rectangular garden problem in Question 3?
  3. How would you like to approach the triangle problems from Question 7?
  4. Should I explain how the quadratic formula applies to these types of problems?
  5. Do you need assistance with rounding to 1 or 2 decimal places in your solutions?

Tip: The quadratic formula is given by x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}, where aa, bb, and cc are coefficients from the equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
