Question

Could someone please help me with this question! I have been stuck on this and need some help!

Answer 1

A. This question asks us to solve the equation for P. This also means to isolate this variable.
S=Ph+2B
S-2B = Ph
(S-2B)/h = P

B. Using the information, we plug this into the perimeter equation, where h = 4, S=96 and B = 8
(96-2(8))/4 = P
80/4 = P
P = 20 meters²
