Question

The formula for the area of a regular polygon is uppercase A = one-half a p. What is the equation solved for a?

Answer 1

D (A=24/d)

Explanation:

Answer 2

`a=(2A)/(p)`

Explanation:

`A=(1)/(2)ap`

To get rid of the fraction on the right, multiply both sides by 2.

`2A=ap`

To separate a from p, notice they are "connected" by multiplication. Divide both sides of the equation by p.

`(2A)/(p)=(ap)/(p)\\(2A)/(p)=a`
