1. Title:
   Grants Fun Office - College Algebra
2. Description:

3. 3 0:00 - 0:04
   Athena started interning at an architecture firm, to learn the basics of
4. 3602 0:04 - 0:08
   designing and planning for the construction of new buildings. This isn't just
5. 7582 0:08 - 0:12
   any architecture firm, though. It just so happens to be the firm that designed
6. 11592 0:12 - 0:16
   the new office for Grant's gleaming glasses company. So we're going to go back
7. 15570 0:16 - 0:20
   in time to follow Athena through the work that went into creating Grant's
8. 19535 0:20 - 0:23
   awesome new space. Since Athena is just getting used to being a part of the
9. 23359 0:23 - 0:27
   world of architecture at all, the firm gave her a pretty simple project to work
10. 27324 0:27 - 0:32
    on first. Since Grant's such a fun guy, he wanted his office to have a separate
11. 31564 0:32 - 0:36
    space, just for having fun. Thus, the fun room, which Athena get's to plan.
12. 35880 0:36 - 0:40
    Grant has picked out a very special wallpaper that he wants used in this room.
13. 40360 0:40 - 0:45
    And has a pattern that he wants to make sure is fully expressed on every wall,
14. 44518 0:45 - 0:49
    but he also wants there to be natural light in the room. So he wants windows
15. 48514 0:49 - 0:53
    along two of the walls. However, since he's not willing to sacrifice any of that
16. 52887 0:53 - 0:57
    wallpaper pattern, the two walls with the windows on them are going to have to
17. 57175 0:57 - 1:02
    be longer than the other two walls. Let's call the distance from one wall to the
18. 61844 1:02 - 1:06
    edge of a window x. And assume that each of these windows are placed in the
19. 66367 1:06 - 1:11
    center of either wall. So that there's a distance of x on either side. Now,
20. 71010 1:11 - 1:15
    since Grant loves natural light so much, he wants these windows to be really
21. 74916 1:15 - 1:19
    big. In fact, he's already picked out, surprise, surprise, the exact windows
22. 78758 1:19 - 1:24
    that he wants. And they are each 3 meters across. Now, since we're calling each
23. 83565 1:24 - 1:28
    of these lengths of wall x, we know that this length of wall is going to be
24. 87990 1:28 - 1:33
    equal to the sum of those two. So this is just 2x. Now, the thing that Athena
25. 92640 1:33 - 1:37
    needs to figure out is how much carpet is going to need to be laid down in the
26. 97093 1:37 - 1:41
    fun room. So considering these side links and your understanding of, area of
27. 101330 1:41 - 1:46
    rectangles, please come up with an expression for the number of square meters of
28. 105685 1:46 - 1:50
    carpet Athena's going to need for this room. You could either multiply or not
29. 109941 1:50 - 1:51
    multiply out your answer.
