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.

The average number of tunnel construction projects that take place at any one time in a certain state is 3. Find the probability
slega [8]

Answer: 0.1008188

Step-by-step explanation:

The question will usng the poisson distribution formula:

Given :

Mean(λ) number of occurrence in a given interval = 3

P(X=x) = Probability of exactly x occurrence in a given interval

Number of desired occurence(x) = 5

P(X=x) = [(λ^x) * (e^-λ)] / x!

Where ; e = base of natural logarithm = 2.7182818

P(X=5) = [(3^5) * (e^-3)] / 5!

P(X=5) = [(243) * (0.0497870)] / 120

P(X=5) = [12.098257] / 120

P(X=5) = 0.1008188
