Answer:
30 units
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the length of the 3rd side of the triangle, the hypotenuse, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. Using this method, you get 5^2+12^2=169. The square root of 169 is 13.
5 + 12 + 13 = 30 units.
"Will is twice as old as Jill."
Jill's age . . . . . J
Will's age . . . . 2J .
"Three years ago . . .
Jill's age then . . . . . J - 3
Will's age then . . . . 2J - 3
". . . Jill's age then was 2/5 of Will's age then."
J - 3 = (2/5) (2J - 3)
Multiply
each side by 5 : 5J - 15 = 2 (2J - 3)
Divide
each side by 2 : 2.5 J - 7.5 = 2J - 3
Subtract 2J
from each side: 0.5 J - 7.5 = -3
Add 7.5
to each side: 0.5 J = 4.5
Multiply
each side by 2 : J = 9
Jill is 9 y.o. now.
Will is 18 y.o. now.
Answer: $11.80 for another 4 panes of glass.
Step-by-step explanation: We know that 9 panes of glass cost $26.55, but we should first find how many dollars would it cost per pane of glass, or 1.
So, we can divide 26.55 by 9 to find the price per 1 pan of glass.
26.55/9 = 2.95, or $2.95 per pane of glass.
Now, we want to know how much it will cost for 4 panes of glass. Simply multiply 2.95 by 4.
2.95 x 4 = 11.8, or $11.80 for another 4 panes of glass.
