b. Yolanda decides the length of her square vegetable garden will be ft. She calculates
that the area of the garden is ft2
. Determine if Yolanda’s calculation is correct.
Explain.

2. 2. Yolanda creates garden cubes to plant flowers. She will fill the cubes with soil and needs to
know the amount of soil that will fill each garden cube. Volume is determined by the
following formula: , where s represents the side length.
a. Represent the volume of the garden cube above using a numerical expression.
b. Evaluate the expression to determine the volume of the garden cube, and the amount of
soil she will need for each cube.
3. Explain why .

3. 4. Yolanda is building a patio in her back yard. She is interested in using both brick and wood
for the flooring of the patio. Below is the plan she has created for the patio. All
measurements are in feet.
a. Create an expression to represent the area of the patio.
b. Yolanda’s husband develops another plan for the patio because he prefers the patio to be
much wider than Yolanda’s plan. Determine the length of the brick section and the
length of the wood section. Then use the dimensions to write an expression that
represent the area of the entire patio.
5. The landscaper hired for Yolanda’s lawn suggests a patio that has the same measure of wood
as it has brick.
a. Express the perimeter of the patio in terms of first using addition, and then using
multiplication.
b. Use substitution to determine if your expressions are equivalent. Explain. Let x = 2
