PROBLEM #1

•Yesterday,
 
Louis bought a bunch of tiles for their
house that is under renovation. The area of all the
tiles are all the same. If the value of its area is (-
+ ) , what is the measure of its side?
SOLUTION

•Step
  1: Get the square root of the first term and last
term.
- +
=
=
SOLUTION

•Step
  2: Make it as square of a binomial.

Where: is the first term

is the second term

Side =
ANSWER

•Therefore,
  (- + ) =

cm is the measure of the side of the tiles.

PROBLEM #2

• 
Before Christmas day, Zayn bought a gift for
his wife Gigi. Then, he put it in a square box
and wrapped it up. What is the area of the box
if its side is ( + ) cm?
SOLUTION

• 
Step 1: Square the first term.

or () () =
SOLUTION

• 
Step 2: Get the product of the first and
second term. Then, multiply it by 2.

2 () () =
SOLUTION

• 
Step 3: Square the last term. Then, put it in
a parentheses (first to last term)

or () () =
ANSWER

•Therefore,
  =(+ +)

( + + ) is the area of the box.

PROBLEM #3

• 
In a private resort, Harry and his friends rented
out a rectangular pool for their vacation. ( - ) is
the area of the pool they rented out. Find its
dimensions.
SOLUTION

•Step
 
1: Get the square root of the first and
second term.
(-)
First term: =
Second term: =
SOLUTION

• 
Step 2: Then using and , create the sum
and difference using two parentheses.
(+)(-)
ANSWER

•Therefore,
 
(-)=(+)(-)

( + ) ( - ) cm are the dimensions of the pool.

PROBLEM #4

•Last
 
Monday, Liam and his family went on an
adventure to the triangular field at Devil’s Den in
Gettysburg National Park. What are the dimensions
of the field if its area is ( + ) ?
SOLUTION

• 
Step 1: Get the cube root of each term
(+)
First term: = 7f
Second term: = 8n
SOLUTION

Step 2: Using the given operation from the

question, form a binomial using the cube
roots you got in step 1.
(7f + 8n)
SOLUTION

•Step
  3: Form another polynomial factor using this process and the pattern:

1. Square the first cube root – or (7f) (7f) =

2. Get the product of the two cube roots – (7f) (8n) = -56fn (opposite sign
to the given)

3. Square the second cube root – or (8n) (8n) =

ANSWER

• 
Therefore, ( + ) = (7f + 8n) - 56fn + )

(7f + 8n) - 56fn + ) m are the field’s

dimensions.
PROBLEM #5

•Niall
 
and Diana are playing chess on a square table.
The side of the chess board is ( + ) cm while the
table’s side is ( - ) cm. Find the area of the table.
SOLUTION

• 
Step 1: Square the first term.

=
SOLUTION

• 
Step 2: Get the product of the first and
second term. Then, multiply it by 2.

2 () =
SOLUTION

•Step
 
3: Square the last term. Then, put it in a
parentheses (first to last term)

or () () =
ANSWER

•Therefore,
  =(+)

( + ) is the table’s area.
