Rewriting Rational Expressions to Find Missing Dimensions

This lesson teaches how to find missing dimensions in area or volume problems by rewriting rational expressions. It covers factoring to simplify expressions, using long division, and applying these techniques to solve for dimensions like width and height in geometric shapes. The lesson concludes with a final problem that reinforces these concepts.
