Check the picture below.
since we know the radius of the larger semicircle is 8, thus its diameter is 16, which is the length of one side of the equilateral triangle. We also know the smaller semicircle has a radius of 1/3, and thus a diameter of 2/3, namely the lenght of one side of the small equilateral triangle.
now, if we just can get the area of the larger figure and the area of the smaller one and subtract the smaller from the larger, we'll be in effect making a hole/gap in the larger and what's leftover is the shaded figure.

Given:
The two functions are:


To find:
The statement that best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x).
Solution:
The horizontal stretch is defined as:
...(i)
If
, the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor
.
If
, the function f(x) is horizontally compressed by factor
.
We have,


Using these functions, we get
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Since
, the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor
.
Hence, the correct option is D.
