Answer:

Area = force /pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

Force is a push or pull. It is the product of mass and acceleration. When force is applied on a body of mass m, an acceleration of a is produced.

Pressure is defined as the force per unit area.

Pressure =
(force)/(area)

Area =
(force)/(pressure)

The SI unit of force is Newton (N), pressure is Pascal (Pa) and area is meter square (m²)
