This math topic focuses on formulating quadratic expressions to represent the area of rectangular gardens and parking lots that are adjacent to walls, using a given amount of fencing. Each problem requires translating a word problem about geometrical shapes into an algebraic equation, specifically focusing on finding expressions for areas in terms of a variable \( x \), which represents the length of one side along the wall. The problems help practice setting up equations, with constraints provided by the total length of fencing available.
