Lila did it correctly. The answer is 324
Following PEMDAS, we first focus on the parenthesis. So we simplify 9-3 to get 6
So we go from
18*4^2+(9-3)^2
to
18*4^2+6^2
The next step is applying exponents. In this case, squaring the terms, so we go from
18*4^2+6^2
to
18*16+36
Next is multiplying
18*16+36
turns into
288+36
Finally, add up 288 and 36 to get 288+36 = 324
That confirms that Lila is correct
----------------------
The error that Rob made is that he computed 18*4^2+9^2-3^2 but it is NOT correct. Saying (x-y)^2 = x^2-y^2 isn't a true equation for all x and y. Again you have to simplify what is in the parenthesis first, and then you can square it. Or you must use the FOIL rule to expand out (9-3)^2
I think the answer is True
The equation for a parabola can also be written in the "vertex form":

Where,
the vertex of the parabola is the point (h, k).
The value of a is the term that accompanies x ^ 2
Substituting values we have:

Rewriting we have:

For the point (-3, 8) we have:

From here, we clear the value of a:

Then, the equation is given by:
Answer:
The equation of the parabola in vertex form is:
The area of the original plot is
200 ×300 =60000
The problem

Hope this help :)
just move the protractor to the diagram/line and measure the angle from the side of the lil curved line :)
