start by splitting the '26.4' into two values that make the sum correct and assign these numbers to the shape. take the value of the 'blue triangle' away from the second sum to get the value of the 'green circle' then finally add together the two values you have for both the 'red square' and 'green circle' to have your sum. keep trying different values for the shapes to find the correct answer. This may take some time!

But I suppose ∆=0 I have that the square is 26.4 and the circle is 23.2 which, give me 49.6 as a result of the sum.

I can see how you found this answer and it would be correct, I apologise as I entered random numbers for the incorrect answers, of which one turned out to be correct. What are the odds?

Well, I just went with the easiest solution I could think of, the one that would've had the least amount of operations. Still, quite against the odds.
