Capitolo 2, Problema 52
In Exercises 35–54, solve each formula for the specified variable. Do you recognize the formula? If so, what does it describe? A = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh for h
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the formula given: \(A = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh\), which represents the surface area of a rectangular prism, where \(l\) is length, \(w\) is width, and \(h\) is height.
Our goal is to solve the formula for the variable \(h\), meaning we want to isolate \(h\) on one side of the equation.
Start by grouping all terms involving \(h\) on one side: \(A = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh\). Subtract \$2lw$ from both sides to get $A - 2lw = 2lh + 2wh$.
Factor \(h\) out of the right side: \(A - 2lw = h(2l + 2w)\).
Finally, divide both sides by \((2l + 2w)\) to isolate \(h\): \(h = \frac{A - 2lw}{2l + 2w}\).
