Question

The formula p=f/a can be used to relate pressure, force and area. solve the formula for a

Answer 1

Answer:   a = f/p

===============================================

Explanation:

We'll solve for 'a' doing these two steps in this exact order

1. Multiply both sides by 'a'
2. Divide both sides by p

We do this because we're following PEMDAS in reverse to isolate the variable we want.

The steps look like this

p = f/a

pa = f

a = f/p

Note how ultimately the 'a' and p variables swap places when going from p = f/a to a = f/p
