<span>The answer is 20 feet by 20 feet. Let's solve the equation: (x – 8)^2 = 144. (x - 8)^2 = 12^2. Since a^2 = b^2 is the same as a = b, then (x - 8)^2 = 12^2 can be simplified to: x - 8 = 12. Now, solve for x. x = 8 + 12. x = 20. Therefore, the dimensions of the original lawn were 20 feet by 20 feet.</span>

To win a trivia game, Nathan must score at least 75 points. Each correct answer is worth 2 1/2 points , and each incorrect answe
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

He scored 79\frac{1}{2} points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of points for a correct answer = 2\frac{1}{2}

Number of points scored for an incorrect answer = -\frac{1}{4}

Therefore, for 35 correct answers, points scored = 35\times 2\frac{1}{2}=35\times \frac{5}{2}=\frac{175}{2}

Now, for 32 incorrect answers, points scored = 32\times -\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{32}{4}=-8

Therefore, net number of points scored by Nathan is:

\frac{175}{2}-8=\frac{175}{2}-\frac{16}{2}=\frac{175-16}{2}=\frac{159}{2}=79\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, Nathan scored 79\frac{1}{2} points.
