"Suppose that I don't have a formula for #g(x)# but I know that #g(1)
= 3# and #g'(x) = sqrt(x^2+15)# for all x. How do I use a linear approximation to estimate #g(0.9)# and #g(1.1)#?"

Perimeter is 10
Explanation:
Let the height of the standardises triangle by
Let the side length of the triangle in the question be
The by ratio of side lengths we have:
But
But this is the length for only one side. There are three sides so:
Perimeter =
