Question

Bonnie has a container in the shape of a rectangular pyramid. The formula for the surface area of the enclosed space is S = lw + 0.5Ph. Solve for P.P = S – lw – 0.5hP = S + lw + 0.5hP = The quantity S minus l times w all divided by 0.5 times hP = S divided by the quantity l times w plus 0.5 times h

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C.  P = $\frac{S-lw}{0.5h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Bonnie gas a container in the shape of a rectangular pyramid.

Formula for the surface area of the enclosed space is given by

S = lw + 0.5 Ph

We have to solve this for the value of P.

S = lw + 0.5 Ph

S - lw = (lw + 0.5 Ph) - lw [ By subtracting lw from both the sides of the equation]

S - lw = 0.5Ph

P = $\frac{S-lw}{0.5h}$ [ dividing by 0.5h on both the sides of the equation]

Therefore,Option C. P = $\frac{S-lw}{0.5h}$ will be the answer.
