PROBLEM SITUATIONS

1. 1. City Park Design: A city planner is designing a new

park that will have a rectangular grassy area surrounded
by a circular jogging track. If the length and width of the
rectangular area are represented by the algebraic
expressions 4x + 3 and 2x + 5 respectively, and the
radius of the circular track is x + 2, find the area of the
grassy area and the perimeter of the jogging track for x = 10.

2. Urban Farming: An urban farmer wants to build a

triangular rooftop garden where the lengths of the sides are
represented by 3x + 2, 4x - 1, and 5x + 1. Find the
perimeter of the garden for x = 5.

3. 3. City Block Paving: A city block is paved with square

tiles. If one side of the tile is represented by 2x - 1, find
the total area of a city block paved with n such tiles along
the length and m such tiles along the width.

4. 4. Skate Park Construction: A skate park is constructing a new half-pipe ramp that is
in the shape of a semi-circle. If the diameter of the semi-circle is represented by 6x + 4,
find the perimeter and area of the half-pipe for x = 3.

5. 5. Urban Architecture: An architect is designing a

new city building in the shape of a trapezoid. If the
lengths of the parallel sides are 7x + 3 and 5x + 2, and
the height is 4x + 1, find the area of the building’s face
for x = 4.

1. 6. City Park Design: A city is planning to build a rectangular park with a circular
fountain in the center. The length of the park is twice its width. If the diameter of the
fountain is equal to the width of the park, find the area of the park that will be covered
by grass. Use the variable w to represent the width of the park.

2. 7. Urban Planning: An urban planner is designing a triangular

plaza surrounded by buildings on all three sides. The sides of
the triangle are represented by the expressions 2x + 5, 3x -
2, and 4x + 1. If the perimeter of the plaza needs to be 100
meters for optimal space utilization, find the lengths of the
sides of the triangle.

8. Skyscraper Windows: A skyscraper has a unique

design where each floor has n+2 windows, with n being
the floor number (starting from 0 for the ground floor).
If the skyscraper has 50 floors, find the total number of
windows in the building.

4. 9. City Block Paving: A city block is in the shape of a

trapezoid. The city wants to replace the pavement of
this block. If the lengths of the parallel sides
are a and b, and the distance between them is h, find
the area to be paved. Also, if a = 2b, and the perimeter
of the block is P, express h in terms of P.

5. 10. Circular Race Track: A city is planning a circular race track for cycling. The track
itself is 5 meters wide. If the outer edge of the track has a circumference represented
by the expression 2πr, find the area of the track (the space within the track lines where
cyclists will be cycling) in terms of r.
