The perimeter of the section labeled potatoes is to be found. Which statement is TRUE about the perimeter and the operation performed?
a) The perimeter of the section is 8x⁴. The perimeter demonstrates that polynomials are closed under addition because the sum of all sides is also a polynomial.
b) The perimeter of the section is 8x. The perimeter demonstrates that polynomials are not closed under addition because the sum of all sides has fewer terms than both side lengths.
c) The perimeter of the section is 8x⁴. The perimeter demonstrates that polynomials are not closed under addition because the sum of all sides has fewer terms than both side lengths.
d) The perimeter of the section is 8x. The perimeter demonstrates that polynomials are closed under addition because the sum of all sides is also a polynomial.
