Answer:
≈ 58
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimation usually means you want an answer good to one or maybe two significant figures. That usually means you want to round the numbers involved to one or two significant figures.
Doing that here transforms the problem to 180/3 = 60, an answer with one significant figure.
You can improve the estimate a bit by recognizing that it is a little high (the numerator is higher than 175.32, but the denominator is the same). Since the numerator is high by about 5, the estimate is high by about 5/3 or a little less than 2. A closer estimate will be 60 - 2 = 58.

The degree to which you refine the estimate will depend on the error requirements you have. Certainly an estimate of 60 is within 10% of the true value, so is "close enough" for many purposes.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the adjacent side length in cm
opposite side is x + 2 cm
hypotenuse is x + 4 cm
x² + (x + 2)² = (x + 4)²
x² + (x² + 4x + 4) = (x² + 8x + 16)
x² - 4x - 12 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0
so either
x - 6 = 0 x = 6
or
x + 2 = 0 x = -2
positive answer is x = 6 as negative length does not make sense
opposite side is 6 + 2 = 8
hypotenuse is 6 + 4 = 10
perimeter is 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 cm
9 and 1/3 because you add what she has and what she's given and subtract what she uses. You must use a common denominator. Hope this helped you!
The disstance between -125 and 78 is 47
