In this case, you aren't going to get an integer for the value of a, but you can rearrange the equation to equal a.
4a-3=D add 3 to both sides
4a=D+3 divide both sides by 4
a=(D+3)/4 here's your answer
Dividing by a half is the same as multiplying by two. 3/4 multiplied by 2 is

or, in improper fraction form

or, in decimal form, 1.5
If you divide decimals you have to bring up the decimal point but if you divide whole numbers you dont have any decimal points so you just divide the numbers. Sorry if i didnt help i just wanted to help.
Answer:
the surface area of the square pyramid is 576.66 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the surface area of square pyramid is given below:
A = a^2 + 2a × √a^2 ÷ √4 + √h^2
where
a = 12 cm
h = 17 cm
Now put the value of a and h in the above formula
= 12^2 + 2(12) × √12^2 ÷ √4 + √17^2
= 576.66 cm^2
hence, the surface area of the square pyramid is 576.66 cm^2
9514 1404 393
Answer:
3 3/4 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
The yield from 3/4 cup of sugar is 2 dozen cookies. Multiply that by 5 and you get: the yield from 15/4 cups of sugar is 10 dozen cookies.
As a mixed number 15/4 = 3 3/4.
Ana will need 3 3/4 cups of sugar for 10 dozen cookies.
