Problem: You are trying to figure out the dimensions of a
rectangle. The length of the rectangle is
6 inches more than its width. The area of the
rectangle is 91 square inches. Find the
dimensions of the rectangle. Set up a diagram
and find the dimensions of the rectangle
by solving the quadratic.
Problem: When a flare is fired upward at 58. 8 meters per
second, its height, h in meters, is given
by the equation h = -4.9t^2 + 58.8t. How long will

Problem: An object
is launched at 19.6 meters
per second (m/s) from a 58.8-meter
tall platform.
The equation for the object's height s at time t seconds
after launch is s(t)
= –4.9t2 +
19.6t
+ 58.8, where s is
in meters. When does the object strike the ground?
Problem: A picture
has a height that is 4/3 its
width. It is to be enlarged to have an area of 192
square inches. What will be the
dimensions of the enlargement?

Problem : A ball is thrown into the air at velocity
of 32 m/s from a 48 meter tall platform. The
equation for the object's height
s at time t seconds after thrown is s(t) = -16t2 +
32t
+ 48, where s is in meters. When does the ball hit the
ground?
Problem: Suppose that one leg of a
right triangle is 12 inches while the hypotenuse is
