Question

The perimeter of a kite can be found using the formula P = 2S + 2L. Which equation expresses S in terms of P and L?

Answer 1

0.5P - L

Explanation:

P = 2S + 2L

P - 2L = 2S +2L - 2L

P - 2L = 2S

0.5P - L = S

Answer 2

Explanation:

P = 2S + 2L

2S + 2L = P

2S = P - 2L

S =
`(P-2L)/(2)`
