How to apply factoring to a word problem of a rectangle

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving a rectangle field by factoring a trinomial into length and width. Given one width, the task is to find the length. The process involves using algebraic methods to fill in a box and solve for the unknown length, concluding with the answer and a transition to the next example.

What is the initial step in representing the area of the rectangle field?

• Finding the diagonal

• Calculating the perimeter

• Plugging in three different points

• Using a trinomial

What is the given width of the rectangle in the problem?

• X - 50

• X - 90

• X - 70

• X - 30

How do you determine the missing length of the rectangle?

• By subtracting the width from the area

• By dividing the area by the width

• By multiplying the width by a factor

• By adding the width to the area

What is the final calculated length of the rectangle?

• X - 50

• X - 60

• X - 70

• X - 80

What is the purpose of filling in the rest of the box in the factoring process?

• To determine the diagonal

• To verify the length and width

• To find the perimeter

• To calculate the area
