Question

The surface are S of a right prism is...
S= 2B + Ph
where B is the area of the base, P is the perim of base, and h is height of prism.
Solve for P.

Answer 1

P = (S-2b)/h

Answer 2

But they probably want you to solve a specific case.

Answer 3

No I think they just want the equation because there is no data to plug in... so that you
*thank you

Answer 4

Well then you're simply solving for the variable you want. Isolate P by subtracting 2b from both sides and then dividing by h.
