Lets say
Jill=J
Meg=m
Beth=b
Jill is 4 years younger than meg so j+4=m
This is because if you add 4 to Jill's age, her age is going to be Megs age
Hope this helps and a brainliest would be appreciated
Answer:
25 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius of a hailstorm varies directly
with the amount of time that it was in a cloud.
Radius = k x Time (in the cloud)
k is the constant of proportionality
R = k x T
0.5 = k x 10
k = 0.5/10
k = 0.05
Formula: R = 0.05 x T
1.25 = 0.05 x T
Time = 1.25/0.05
Time = 25 seconds.

Try to imagine this word problem, there is a wall and a ladder leaning against it, the space from the bottom of the ladder is labeled 6 and the length of the height the ladder reaches on the wall is 8. Imagine this as a right triangle now, where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse and the length of the legs of the triangle is 6 and 8. Because we know this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
We then plug in the values and you get 6^2+8^2=c^2
When you simplify, you get 36+64=c^2 which is c^2=100
When you solve for c, you get c=10 which would be the length of the ladder :)
