Answer: The area is 12.5 units squared

Step-by-step explanation: The trapezoid shown has the parallel lines (bases a and b) given and the vertical (perpendicular) height also given.

The area of a trapezoid is calculated as ;

Area = [(a + b)/2] x h

Where a is 2.5, b is 7.5 and h is 2.5

Area = [(2.5 + 7.5)/2] x 2.5

Area = [(10)/2] x 2.5

Area = 5 x 2.5

Area = 12.5 units squared

Omas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola

Serga [27]

Answer:

Omas can buy 1 pound of walnuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can say that the total cost would be equal to the result of multiplying the price per pound of granola for the number of pounds of granola plus the result of multiplying the price per pound of walnuts for the number of pounds of walnuts, which would be:

Total cost=2x+6y, where

x is the number of pounds of granola

y is the number of pounds of walnuts

Now, you can replace the values on the formula and solve for y:

12=(2*3)+6y

12=6+6y

6=6y

y=1

According to this, the answer is that Omas can buy 1 pound of walnuts.
