Question

The formula for the area of a regular polygon is A = 1/2ap. What is the equation solved for 'a'?

A. a = 2A
B. a = 2A - p
C. a = 2p/A
D. a = 2A/p

Answer 1

To solve the equation for 'a', multiply both sides of the equation by 2 and then divide by p. The equation is solved for 'a' when we have a = 2A/p.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation for 'a', we need to isolate 'a' on one side of the equation. Starting with the formula A = 1/2ap, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction. This gives us 2A = ap. Then, divide both sides of the equation by p to solve for 'a'. The equation is solved for 'a' when we have a = 2A/p.
