Do you mean the geometrical shape that is the character "8" ?
If so then drawn in its simplest form as two tangential circles not necessarily of the same radii, so obviously:
- the circumference of each circle will vary with its ownradius, and
- the area of each circle will vary as the square of its own radius;
and the combined circumference or area will be the sum of the two individual ones respectively.
I can't say I've ever had to calculate areas and perimetersof characters but I suppose you might if you are in sign-making or neon-lamp manufacturing!
"the difference between a number and eight is twenty-two
one third of the difference between ten and a number
x - (8 - x)
difference of eight and a number
twice the difference of three times a number and eight
N - 8 = 22 (:
Abs(n - 8) = 22
n - 8 is the expression for the difference of eight and a number.'Number' is a variable, so the variable must be a letter (in this case, 'n'). 'The difference' is going to be the subtraction symbol that is in between the 'number' and eight, so it must be n - 8. It could, of course, be 8 - n.
The difference between seventeen and thirty is thirteen. Thirteen multiplied by eight is one hundred four. The answer is one hundred four (104).
(8 - x) - 11
The circumference of eight is: 25.13
One number is eight more than twice another if their difference is 25. The larger number is 42
