The outside dimension of the square green rug is (x+14), so its area is (x+14)^2. The area of the green band will be the difference between this and the area of the yellow square, (x^2).
green band area = (x +14)^2 -(x^2) = x^2 +28x +196 -x^2
Since (x - 2)° and (2x + 5)° represent a pair of supplementary angles, then their sum must be equal to 180°. Therefore, the two supplementary angles are 57° and 123°.
