Finding Equal Leg Lengths in a Right Triangle with a 10-Inch Hypotenuse

A project manager uses a quadratic equation to calculate the number of months required to complete a warehouse renovation. The algebraic solution results in two values: m = 8 and m = -12. According to the standard problem-solving strategy for real-world applications, why is the value m = -12 discarded?

When an inventory manager uses a quadratic equation to calculate the number of items to order and finds solutions of n = 45 and n = -30, the value n = -30 is ____ because it is impossible to order a negative quantity of items.

When a quadratic equation used to determine the width of a new warehouse storage bin results in a negative numerical value, that specific solution must be ____ because a physical measurement cannot be less than zero.
