Factoring to Solve Quadratic Equations ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 10-5 The diagram shows a pattern for an open-top box. The total area of the sheet of materials used to make the box is 130 in. 2. The height of the box is 1 in. Therefore, 1 in. 1 in. squares are cut from each corner. Find the dimensions of the box. Define: Let x = width of a side of the box. Then the width of the material = x = x + 2 The length of the material = x = x + 5 Relate: length width = area of the sheet 5-13
Factoring to Solve Quadratic Equations ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 10-5 (continued) Write: (x + 2) (x + 5) = 130 x 2 + 7x + 10 = 130Find the product (x + 2) (x + 5). x 2 + 7x – 120 = 0Subtract 130 from each side. (x – 8) (x + 15) = 0Factor x 2 + 7x – 120. x – 8 = 0orx + 15 = 0Use the Zero-Product Property. x = 8or x = –15Solve for x. The only reasonable solution is 8. So the dimensions of the box are 8 in. 11 in. 1 in. 5-13
