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:
9.65-9.74
Those numbers and anything between them.
Answer:
c = 8.14 million×(0.9166)^t
4.83 million
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
t = y - 2007
c₀ = 8.14 million
c₃ = 23 % less than c₁
Part 1. Calculate c₃
c₃ = c₀(1 - 0.23) = 0.77c₀
Part 2. Calculate r
c₃ = c₀r^t
0.77c₀ = c₀r³
0.77 = r³ Divided each side by c₀
r = 0.9166 Took the cube root of each side
The explicit decay model is c = 8.14 million×(0.9166)^t
Part 3. Prediction
t = 2013 - 2007 = 6
c = c₀r^t = 8.14 million×(0.9166)⁶ = 8.14 million × 0.5929 = 4.83 million
The model predicts that there will be 4.83 million cars for sale in 2013.
