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.
Answer:
D. (x-5)^2 = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add 11 to the given equation, you get ...
x^2 -10x = 11
Then you can add the square of half the x-coefficient to complete the square.
x^2 -10x +25 = 11 +25
(x -5)^2 = 36 . . . . simplify to the appropriate form

Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
c^2*b
We know that c is 3, and b is 5, so we can substitute them in
3^2*5
Solve the exponent first
9*5
Multiply
45
