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.

In order to estimate the average time spent per student on the computer terminals at a local university, data were collected for
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer: option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulae for standard error = standard deviation/√n

But population standard deviation = 1.8 and sample size = n = 81

Standard error = 1.8/√81 = 1.8/9 = 0.2

To estimate the product 3.48 times 7.33,Marisa multiplied 4 times 8 to get 32.Exsplain how she can make a closer estimate
notka56 [123]

Marisa had rounded 3.48 to 4 and times it to 7.33 which she rounded to 8

In fact 3.48 is closer to 3 we know this since the .48 of 3.48 s below .50 if it was .50 or above it would round to 4 but it doesn't the same applies to 7.33 so

it should be 3 x 7 = 21
