Estimate the area of the mulch around the patio. Explain your reasoning. ||

We will now use a quadratic equation to represent a contextual situation. There are many situations that can be modeled by a quadratic equation. Let's look at some.

In this first example we have a rectangle with the dimensions labeled. The area of the rectangle is 32 cm 2. Find the value of x. Back to Solving Quadratic Equations Target B - Which Method ? - Guided Learning Let's do another example. __**Example 2:**__ You are building a rectangular brick patio surrounded by a flower border in a rectangular courtyard as shown. You would like to arrange the brick section in a 12 ft by 17 ft rectangle. The flower border is a consistent border of width //x// ft. Determine the width of your flower border if you have an area of 300 square feet available in your backyard.
