Which of the following is not equivalent to the formula for the area of a rectangle A = LW?
A = L x W
Play around with that euation
example - Divide both sides by W \[\frac{ A }{ W } = L\]
That crosses the second one off... Divide that now by L to get... \[\frac{ A }{ W*L } = 1\] That crosses off the fourth one..
Try to rearrange A = L x W into \[\frac{ A }{ L } = W ~~~and~~~A=\frac{ L }{ W }\] Which one is possible, and which one isnt?
C
c is possible and a is not
no c is possible
\[A = L*W ~~~~divide~ by~L~~~~~~\frac{ A }{ L } = W\]
C is not possible , they give you A = L x W, how can A = L/W
To get A) Divide by L on both sides To get B) Divide by W on both sides To get D) Divide both sides by L and W C) not possible
ohhh i thought u asked how i thought c was not possible sorry didn't mean it like ur wrong :P
@DanJS
so A is right?
C is the one that is Not possibe
You cant get A=L / W from A = L x W
all the others you can,, as i did above
A = L * W -----Divide both sides by L \[\frac{ A }{ L } = \frac{ W*L }{ L }\]\[\frac{ A }{ L } = W\] So the first answer is possible.
To get A) Divide by L on both sides To get B) Divide by W on both sides To get D) Divide both sides by L and W C) not possible
