Polynomial Project
- This project counts as 2 TEST GRADES.
- You will find the dimensions (LENGTH AND WIDTH) of each room BY FACTORING THE GIVEN POLYNOMIALS.
- CHECK YOUR ANSWER BY EITHER DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY of BOX/FOIL.
- You will then find the PERIMETER of that room and record your answer.
- Plug x = 10 into your answers to find the size of each room in FEET.
- Find the COMBINED AREAS OF THE GIVEN ROOMS.
- Staple your individual work on the back of the chart paper.
Your job GIVEN THE AREA find the dimensions and perimeters as polynomial expressions
- On a separate sheet of paper work each of the questions below.
- Your work must be clearly numbered, labeled and neat. Answers must be in simplified.
- All answers are polynomial expressions.
Part 1
- GIVEN THE AREA, find the dimensions of each room. Record your answers on the answer sheet.
- Find the perimeter of each room. Record your answers on the answer sheet.
- Find the ACTUAL size of the room by plugging x= 10 into your answers. Label your answer in feet.
Part 2
- Find the total area of the Kitchen, Dining Room and Great Room.
- Find the total area of All 3 Bedrooms.
- Find the total area of the Whole House.
Grading Rubric:
| Each LENGTH and WIDTH (2 points each). | Each PERIMETER (2 points each). | Scratch Work is LABELED, ATTACHED and STAPLED.(40 POINTS) |
| AREA and PERIMETER when x = 10 (2 points each). | COMBINED AREAS(2 points each). |

Polynomial Project Answer Sheet
All answers must be recorded in the spaces provided, including the units. All work must be attached and numbered/labeled appropriately.
Step 1: Expressing dimensions and perimeters as polynomial expressions
| Room | LENGTH AND WIDTH | PERIMETER | AREA and PERIMETER when x = 10. (Plug x into your answers) |
| UTILITIES | 1a) | 2a) | |
| KITCHEN | 1b) | 2b) | |
| GREAT ROOM | 1c) | 2c) | |
| DINING ROOM | 1d) | 2d) | |
| FOYER | 1e) | 2e) | |
| BEDROOM 1 | 1f) | 2f) | |
| BEDROOM 2 | 1g) | 2g) | |
| BEDROOM 3 | 1h) | 2h) | |
| BATHROOM | 1i) | 2i) | |
| For this section, find the COMBINED AREAS of the following rooms (ADD the areas) | |||
| 3) Kitchen, Dining Room and Great Room | 4) All 3 Bedrooms | 5) The Whole House | |
