Question

Use the formula V = Bh to enter a different version of this formula that you would use to find the area of the base B of a rectangular prism if you know the height h and the volume V. Complete the explanation for finding the equation.


Begin with V = Bh and (select) both sides of the equation by (select) to get B =

Answer 2

you just have to solve for B ?

Answer 3

we need the 2nd one -- B=V / h

Answer 4

So the number answer is B = V/h

Answer 5

that's just the formula

Answer 6

fi the h and V is given, then yeah, we can find the B

Answer 7

if h and V*

Answer 8

But, I'm not finding the answer.

Answer 9

so we have

V = Bh

how do we move h to the other side to get B all by itself?

h is being multiplied with B.
So we need to do the opposite of that on both sides so we can move h to the other side.

What is the opposite of multiplication?

Answer 10

Division

Answer 11

Good and what are we dividing both sides by?

(Hint: re-read what I wrote, I already told you.. but basically we're dividing by the thing that's there with B so we can get B all by itself on one side)

Answer 12

H or V?

Answer 13

V = B*h

what is B being multiplied with?

We need to divide that on both sides

Answer 14

h

Answer 15

Exactly!

And what do you get when divide both sides by 'h'

Answer 16

B = V/h?

Answer 17

Wonderful! And now you should be able to fill in the sentence

We've already said what goes in the blank

you're dividing by h on both sides to get that equation

Answer 18

Begin with V = Bh and divide both sides of the equation by h to get B = V/h.

Answer 19

There you have it!
