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.

What is the interquartile range of the data?   
zysi [14]
An interquartile range is finding the median of the first half of the data set, and the second half, then subtracting the first median from the second one. 

The median of the data set is..

<span>17, 18, 18, 20, 23, 25, 27, 27, 34, 38, 40, 46, 46, 62, 67 

Now we have to find the interquartile points.

</span>17, 18, 18, 20, 23, 25, 27, 27, 34, 38, 40, 46, 46, 62, 67 

The interquartile points are 20 and 46. So subtract:

46 - 20 = 26

The answer is 26. :)

Hopefully this helps! If you have any more questions or don't understand, feel free to DM me, and I'll get back to you ASAP! :)

lana [24]

Answer:

55 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

y = total cost, x = number of sessions attended

Non-members equation:   y = 5x              

Members equation: y = 3x + 25

y = 3(10) + 25

y = 30 + 25

y = 55 dollars

Hope this helps!
