Hello There ~

For this, we need to evaluate the approximate value of root 32, that is equal to : 5.65

we simply need to put the approximate valuw in expression and find the result.


\longrightarrow \tt - 12 + √(32)


\longrightarrow \tt - 12 + 5.65


\longrightarrow \tt - 6.34


\longrightarrow \tt \approx - 6.3

Hence, the first option over there is the most suitable choice.

Hope it helps -',...,'-
