1 Find the lengths of the two unknown sides of a triangle
if the hypotenuse is 15 cm long and the sum of other
two legs is 21 cm.
Let x = one side of the triangle
21 - x will be the other side.

2. A factory is to be built on a lot that measures 80 m by 60 m.
A lawn of uniform width and equal in area to the factory, must
surround the factory. How wide is the strip of lawn, and
what are the dimensions of the factory?
x Let x = the width of the strip.
x 60 - 2x x
Area of the factory:
60
80 - 2x 2400 = (80 - 2x)(60 - 2x)
x 2400 = 4800 - 280x + 4x2
0 = 4x2 - 280x + 2400
80 0 = 4(x2 - 70x + 600)
0 = 4(x - 60)(x - 10)
Total area = 80 x 60
x = 60 or x = 10
= 4800 m2
