Question 539715: I need help solving a quadratic equation.
The area of a field shaped like a right triangle is 600m2 ( squared). The legs of the field are fenced with steel at $10/m, while the hypotenuse is fenced with aluminum at $20/m. The perimeter of the field is 120m. The total cost of the fencing is $1700.
A. What is the length of each side of fence with steel?
B. what is the length of the side of the fence with aluminum?
Here's what I've tried:
xy/2= 600m2
x+y+z= 120
10x + 10y + 20z = $1700 or x+ y + 2z = $170
Not sure how to get rid of one of the variables.
Would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Question 541946: It's my very first time seeking help on this website because I am truly lost. The question from my book says that "the radicand of the quadratic formula, b^2 - 4ac, can be used to determine whether +ax%5E2+%2B+bx+%2B+c+=+a has solutions that are rational, irrational, or not real numbers." I haven't been able to solve the problem on this website because it's saying that the first coefficient is zero. It's also asking me to explain how this works. And if it possible to determine the kinds of answers that one will obtain to a quadratic equation without actually solving the equation. I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.
