All you have to do is follow the steps shown in the pictures and you’ll get your answer,
A- Veronica —> v=5+2m
Total —> v+m=32
B- since you already know that to get veronica’s number of stuffed animals, you need to use v=5+2m, you need to substitute it in the total equation. So it’ll be:
(5+2m)+m=32
(5+2m) represents veronica’s stuffed animals
m represents Mariposa’s stuffed animals
C- Mariposa —> 9
Veronica —> 23

Answer: 33 ft².
Step-by-step explanation:
1. As you can see in the figure attached, the trapezoid is formed by a rectangle and two equal right triangles. The base of each triangle is 4 feet and you know the lenght of the hypotenuse AD, therefore, you can calculate the height by applying the Pythagorean Theorem:

2. Now, you can calculate the area with the following formula:
Where <em>B</em> is the longer base,<em> b</em> is the shorter base and <em>h</em> is the height.
Then:
