    A 15ft ladder leans against a wall such that the top is 3ft farther from the ground than the bottom is from the wall. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground is 12ft. The volume of a cube with sides of length x+2 is (x+2)^3. Peter's rectangular vegetable garden that is 120 sqm needs a length 2m more than its width; setting up an equation using the area formula and solving for the width and length allows calculating the total fence perimeter needed.

    Equations
    1. A 15ft ladder leans against
    the wall and the distance from
    the top of the ladder to the
    ground is 3ft more than the
    distance from the bottom of the
    ladder to the wall. What is the
    distance from the top of the
    ladder to the ground?
    2. One side of the cube
    measures (x+2) units. What is
    the volume of the cube in terms
    of x?
    3. Peter wants to enclose his
    rectangular vegetable garden
    with chicken wire to prevent
    poultry from entering. If the area
    of the vegetable garden is 120
    sq.m and the length is 2m more
    than its width, how many meters
    of chicken wire will be need?
