Students learn how to form and solve quadratic equations from geometry problems.  Problems include finding the area of a rectangle with algebraic lengths to setting up an equation from similar shapes.

Differentiated Learning Objectives

• All students should be able to form a quadratic equation from a rectilinear area.
• Most students should be able to use geometrical facts to set up and solve a quadratic equation when a = 1.
• Some students should be able to form and solve a quadratic equation from geometrical facts.
