Answer:

d) 20 feet by 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The original lawn reduced by 8 feet on each side.

The area of the smaller lawn is 144 square feet.

It is represented by the equation (x - 8)^2 = 144, where "x" represents the side of the original lawn.

Let's solve for x.

Taking square root on both sides, we get

\sqrt{(x-8)^{2} } = \sqrt{144}

(x - 8) = 12

Add 8 on both sides, we get

x - 8 + 8 = 12 + 8

x = 20

So, the dimensions of the original lawn is 20 feet by 20 feet.

We can solve this equation by using the Square Root Method.
First, take the square root of each side of the equation:
(x-8)^2 = 144 becomes x-8 = 12
Then add 8 to both sides.
x=20

The original lawn was d. 20 feet by 20 feet.

WATER TOWER One of the largest sphere water towers in the country is located in Edmond, Oklahoma. It is 218 feet tall and holds
Fudgin [204]

Answer: The radius of the new water tower is approximately 21 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

  So we know the volume  of the Water Tower is 66840 ft^3   and the new one's volume will hold 3/5 as much.  so you will multiply  66840 by 3/5 to find the volume of the new one.

66840 * 3/5 = 40104   so the new water tower will hold 40104 cubic feet of water.

Now to find the radius we will use the formula  v= 4/3\pir^3

40104 =  4/3 * \pi* r^3

 40104=  4.1887* r^3

r= 21

The graph shows the solution to which system of equations?
vichka [17]
Start by seeing where the lines go. They cross (intersect) at (1, -1). We can use this to check later.
Now for slope: green is -4/2 = -2
pink is 4/2 = 2
Now we can create the equations
Let's make green = g(x) and pink = p(x)
if we use y = mx + b, then the green has a y-intercept (b) of +1
So g(x) = -2x + 1
pink has a y-intercept of -3, so p(x) = 2x - 3
Now let's plug n play: put our solutions x into each equation and confirm that it makes the y = -1
g(x) = -2x + 1 = -2(1) + 1 = -2+1 = -1
p(x) = 2x - 3 = 2(1) - 3 = 2-3 = -1

✔ YES THEY ARE CONFIRMED
