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.

A carpenter is making a wooden window frame that has a width of 1 inch. How much wood does the carpenter need to build the frame
romanna [79]

Diagram attached

Answer:

5.5+106 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The wooden frame has different shapes- semi circle, rectangles  and we would have to calculate area of all the shapes to get the wood required.

To get area of the circle, we use the formula π(R²-r²)/2. Subtract the inner radius from the outer radius =

π(6²-5²)/2= 11π/2

=5.5π square inches

We add area of the semi circle to area of the 3 rectangles from the diagram:

2×1×48×10×1=106 square inches

The rectangle with 10 inches is because we subtracted one inch from both sides of the 12 inches rectangle to avoid repetition and overvaluing the area

Total area =5.5π +106 square inches

Options must have ommitted the "π"
