It is a 3-4-5 right triangle
leg1 := 3x, leg2:=4x, hypotenuse:=5x
given hypotenuse = 75m
=> 5x=75
So, x= 75÷5 = 15
Therefore, leg1 = 3(15) = 45m.
leg2= 4(15) = 60m.
Two significant Figures I believe because you want to go with the least amount of sig figs that are already in your problem which would be 2 in 7500 because the zeros are not significant
Answer:
(2,12)
Step-by-step explanation:

If Sheila started with 8 yards of fabric and used 2 1/4 yards, she will have the difference of these two values remaining. Subtract 2 1/4 from 8.
Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. (Multiply its denominator by the whole number and replace the numerator with this new number.)
2 1/4 = 9/4
We now have:
8/1 - 9/4
Multiply 8/1 by 4/4 to get common denominators.
8/1 × 4/4 = 32/4
Now subtract.
32/4 - 9/4 = 23/4 = 5.75
Alternatively, we could have converted the fraction 2 1/4 to decimal form and subtracted it from 8.
2 1/4 = 2.25
8 - 2.25 = 5.75
Answer:
Sheila has 5.75 yards of fabric left.
