Math Problem Statement

Relate the statement into function: 'The perimeter of a square is related to the length of its sides'.

Solution

The question in the image asks to relate a statement to a function, specifically asking which choice correctly relates the perimeter of a square to the length of its sides.

The correct answer is A: "The perimeter of a square (P) is a function of the length of its sides (s)."

This is because the perimeter PP of a square is calculated as:

P=4sP = 4s

where ss is the length of a side of the square. This directly describes the relationship where the perimeter is a function of the side length.

  1. How would you express the area of a square as a function of the length of its sides?
  2. What is the general formula for the perimeter of a rectangle?
  3. How can the concept of functions be applied to different shapes, such as circles or triangles?
  4. Can the perimeter of a square ever be a linear function if the side length changes over time?
  5. How does the concept of a function apply to real-world scenarios involving geometry?

Tip: When analyzing functions, always identify the variables involved and how one quantity depends on another.
