Mathematical Procedure for Turf Dimensioning

A landscaping professional needs to determine the dimensions of a 150-square-foot rectangular turf area where the length is one foot less than three times the width. Describe the mathematical process for solving this problem, starting from the initial equation setup through the use of the Quadratic Formula. Specifically, recall the reasoning for discarding one of the solutions and how to handle a discriminant that is not a perfect square.
