Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of 1 pen= $ 2

price of 1 pencil= $1

total money spent= $12

Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

 2 a + b = 12   ----------------Equation 1

We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

  a - b = 3   ------------------  Equation 2

 Equation 1 +Equation 2,  

   2 a + b +  a - b = 12 + 3

                     3a = 15

                     a = 5

 Substituting in  equation

           5 - b = 3

               b = 2

 Number pencils Ava bought = 2

Mia found the area of a polygon The area is 32 square cm.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Only the isosceles trapezoid has an area of 32 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the area of each polygon.

For the two triangles we have:

A_{t} = \frac{bh}{2} = \frac{2 cm*4 cm}{2} = 4 cm^{2}

This polygon does not have an area of 32 cm².

For the rectangle we have:

A_{r} = bh = 6 cm*4 cm = 24 cm^{2}

This polygon does not have an area of 32 cm².

For the rectangle trapezoid we have:

A_{rt} = A_{t} + A_{r} = (4 + 24) cm^{2} = 28 cm^{2}

So, this polygon does not have an area of 32 cm².

Finally, for the isosceles trapezoid:

A_{it} = A_{t}*2 + A_{r} = (4*2 + 24) cm^{2} = 32 cm^{2}

This polygon does have an area of 32 cm².

   

Therefore, only the isosceles trapezoid has an area of 32 cm².

I hope it helps you!
