Question

Maggie has a container in the shape of a right prism. The formula for its surface area is SA = Ph + 2B. Solve for h.

A.h = SA minus two times B over P
B.h = SA plus two times B over P
C.h = SA plus P over two times B
D.h = SA minus P over two times B

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:We have been given a formula for the surface area of a container in shape of right prism. We are asked to solve for h for our given formula

First of all, we will switch sides for our given equation as:

Now, we will subtract 2B from both sides of our equation.

Now, we will divide both sides of our equation by P.

therefore its option A

Answer 2

A.
`h=(SA-2B)/(P)`

Explanation:

We have been given a formula for the surface area of a container in shape of right prism. We are asked to solve for h for our given formula.

`SA=Ph+2B`

First of all, we will switch sides for our given equation as:

`Ph+2B=SA`

Now, we will subtract 2B from both sides of our equation.

`Ph+2B-2B=SA-2B`

`Ph=SA-2B`

Now, we will divide both sides of our equation by P.

`(Ph)/(P)=(SA-2B)/(P)`

`h=(SA-2B)/(P)`

Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
