This math topic focuses on creating quadratic equations from word problems relating to areas with added borders or ditches. The equations are formed in standard form and are aimed to solve for the width of the border or ditch surrounding a defined area, such as gardens or paintings. Each problem presents a structured practical scenario where the total measured area includes the region of interest plus an additional uniform width, requiring the student to formulate and solve a quadratic equation.
