This math topic focuses on solving quadratic equations arising from real-world word problems related to areas involving ditches or borders. The problems require determining expressions for the total areas of gardens or paintings, adjusted by a variable width that affects all sides. The solutions involve forming quadratic equations by describing total areas of rectangles with additional width or subtracted width, affecting length and width dimensions. Each question is a variation on calculating area with different dimensions and boundary adjustments, tapping into skills for setting up and solving quadratic equations contextually.
