Problem 20

Problem 21

A group of frogs (called an army) is living in a tree. A frog turns green when in the shade and turns yellow when in the sun. Initially, the ratio of green to yellow frogs was $3 : 1$. Then $3$ green frogs moved to the sunny side and $5$ yellow frogs moved to the shady side. Now the ratio is $4 : 1$.

Problem 23

Problem 24

Jean has made a piece of stained glass art in the shape of two mountains, as shown in the figure below. One mountain peak is $8$ feet high while the other peak is $12$ feet high. Each peak forms a $90^\circ$ angle, and the straight sides form a $45^\circ$ angle with the ground. The artwork has an area of $183$ square feet. The sides of the mountain meet at an intersection point near the center of the artwork, $h$ feet above the ground. What is the value of $h?$
