Bonnie has a container in the shape of a pyramid. The formula for the surface area of enclosed space is a=lw+0.5ph. Solve for p.

Answer :

10srules
S = lw + 0.5Ph
You take 0.5Ph to left side:
- 0.5Ph = lw - S
Then you divide both sides by -1:
0.5Ph = - lw + S
Then divide both sides by 0.5h:
P = - lw + S/0.5*h
Then rearange the equation:
P =  S - lw / 0.5*h

From this,

P = The quantity S minus l times w all divided by 0.5 times h
