Question

The formula for the area of a regular polygon is uppercase A = one-half a p. What is the equation solved for a?

a = 2 uppercase A
a = 2 uppercase A minus p
a = StartFraction 2 p Over uppercase A EndFraction
a = StartFraction 2 uppercase A Over p EndFraction

Answer 1

The correct answer is D

Answer 2

D.
`a=(2A)/(p)`

Explanation:

We have been given that that the formula for the area of a regular polygon is
`A=(ap)/(2)`. We are asked to solve the given formula for a.

First of all, we will multiply both sides by 2.

`A* 2=(ap)/(2)* 2`

`2A=ap`

Now we will divide both sides by p as:

`(2A)/(p)=(ap)/(p)`

`(2A)/(p)=a`

`a=(2A)/(p)`

Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
