Gabriel and his sister are in apparent agreement. There is insufficient information to tell whether they are correct or not.

Gabriel's representation is a more compact form of his sister's representation, but they mean the same thing.*

_____
* In some computer applications, one gets a different result from computing 2.5x than from computing x + x + 0.5x. This has to do with the way numbers are represented in the computer and the way they are rounded during multiplication and/or addition. For the purposes of algebra, the expressions mean the same thing.

Answer:

<h3><u><em>Sample response</em></u>: Both Gabriel and his sister are correct. The two expressions are equivalent. Gabriel’s sister just needs to combine her like terms to get the same expression as Gabriel.</h3>

Try this option (<u>not for all the tasks!</u>):
1) rule for n-angle is: S=180°(n-2), where n - number of the sides. S₁₅=180*13=2340°;
2) S₂₅=180*23=4140°;
4) this is deltoid;
5) this is paralelogram;
6) x=130°; y=50°;
10) x=90°; y=30° (it is deltoid);
12) not enough info for parallelogram (the same for deltoid);
14) it is enough: according to a property of a parallelogram (it means that a square and rombus are parallelograms);
15) it is enough according to the properties of parallelograms;
16) x=2; y=1;
18) poit S(0;0); point T(b+c;d). The coordinates of the midpoint are (0.5b+0.5c;0.5d); slope=arctg(d/(b+c)).

swat32
It is less than 5.2, simply because the number is negative.
