The original side length was 12m therefore the perimeter was 36m. 12/4 is 3 so the perimeter is now 9, and the difference between them is 27.
The answer is D. THe last one.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this sort of problem, there can be an infinite number of answers.
It can be convenient to choose one of the simpler answers by looking at the operations that are performed on the variable. Here, you have ...
- 2 multiplies it
- 4 is added to the product
- the square root is taken
- 8 is divided by that root
You can work from the bottom up and define the outer function (f(x)) to be any of these operations. In our answer above, we have elected to include the "square root" and the "8 divided by that root" in our definition of f.
Then our function g takes care of the other operations.
