UNIT TOPIC: Special Products and Factoring

QUARTER: 1

EXPLORE

This unit is about the special products and factoring.

Consider this question: While calculating the amount of labor

needed to plant vegetable in his two square gardens, Mang
Ramon observed that the side of one garden is 2 m longer than
the side of the other. If the total area of the two gardens is 100
sq. m, what is the area of each garden?
Figure:

2m
