(x - 8)² = 144
Take square root of both sides
(x - 8) = √144
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20
Original lawn is = 20 feet * 20 feet square
we are given

Firstly, we will find all possible factors of 144

we can also write as

now, we can put exponent to over entire term

now, we can replace 144

now, sqrt will get cancelled with square
and we get

now, we can simplify it
