)Which statement best describes the area of the triangle shown below? A coordinate grid is shown with a triangle.. The base is 4 units, and the height is 4 units.

It is one-half the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units.
It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.
It is twice the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units.
It is twice the area of a square of side length 4 units.

  (b)  It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle described can be formed by drawing the diagonal through a square 4 units on a side. Such a diagonal cuts the square cleanly in half, so the area of the triangle is half the area of the square.

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
