Quadratics

1) The document contains 4 math word problems involving shapes, areas, volumes, and speeds. It provides diagrams and asks the reader to show work, use formulas, and solve equations to find missing values like lengths, times, speeds, and volumes. 2) The first problem involves finding the total area and perimeter of a shape made of two rectangles. The second asks the reader to use the area of a right triangle to find the length of one side. 3) The third problem gives the running and cycling speeds and distances of a person and asks the reader to set up and solve an equation to find the running speed. 4) The fourth and final problem diagrams two cubes of different volumes and asks
