Assume that
 a and b = the two legs of the right triangle. 
 c =  the hypotenuse.

The area of the right triangle is 750 yd², therefore
(1/2)*a*b = 750
ab = 1500               (1)

The perimeter is 150yd, therefore
a + b + c = 150         (2)

Let the side fenced with wood be a, at $5/yd.  Sides b and c are fenced with steel at $10/y. The total cost is $1200, therefore
 5a + 10b + 10c = 1200            
or
a + 2b + 2c = 240         (3)

From (2), obtain 
c = 150 - a - b              (4)

Substitute (4) into (3)
a + 2b + 2(150 - a - b) = 240
-a + 300 = 240
a = 60

From (1), obtain
60b = 1500
b = 25

From (4), obtain
c = 150 - 60 - 25 = 65

Answer:
A. The length of the leg fenced with wood is 60 yd.
B.  The length of the leg fenced with steel is 25 yd.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

49 hamburguers (of 3/4 pound)

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 pound is equal to 0.75 pound

37 1/3 pounds of meat is equal to

37 + 1/3 pound =  37.3333 pounds

To find how much hamburguers can be made, we need to divide

37.3333 pounds/ 0.75 pounds

37.3333 pounds/ 0.75 pounds = 49.777777

(We need to round to the lowest number)

This means that 49 hamburguers could be made

87 + 89 divided by 2 x 2 x 2 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 2 x 12 x3
Fittoniya [83]
First you add 87 +89 which equals 176.
second you multiply all the numbers you want to divide, which, to save time, equals 69,120

176 / 69,120 = 0.0025462962963 (0.003 if needing to round)
