I believe the 3rd answer down if the information you provided is correct
Squaring the sum on the top, rules out 1 and 2 (not squaring the 7 only)
then 4 times the difference. so I believe 4 (x-1) on the bottom.
Since this is a parallelogram and the angles are adjacent to one another, a theorem will prove that the sum of these two angles would equal 180°
Therefore, we can set up this equation:
(2x + 24) + x = 180 ⇒ Remove parentheses
2x + 24 + x = 180 ⇒ Combine like terms
3x + 24 = 180 ⇒ Subtract 24 from both sides
3x = 156 ⇒ Divide both sides by 3
x = 52°
7w + 4h + 10w + 15h - 2w - 2h
= 15w + 17h
Both 17/10 and 2 4/5 should be rounded up in preparation for this estimation.
17/10 is close to 2 and 2 4/5 is close to 3. Thus, your estimated answer should be
2/3, or approx. 0.6666....
Exact answer: divide 17/10 by 14/5. LCD is 10, so convert 14/5 to 28/10.
Now divide 17/10 by 28/10. Answer: 17/28 = approx. = 0.607 approx.
These two results are comparable: 0.6666.... and 0.6071 ....
