Q:

Marcie wants to enclose her yard with a fence. Her yard is in the shape of a rectangle attached to a triangle. The formula for the area of the enclosed space is A = lw + 0.5bh. Solve for b. b = A/ IW + 0.5h b = A - IW / 0.5h b = A βˆ’ lw βˆ’ 0.5h b = A + lw + 0.5h

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:b = [tex]\frac{A-lw}{0.5h}[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:Letl------> the length side of the rectanglew----> the width side of a rectangleb----> the base of the triangleh----> the height of the trianglewe know thatthe area of the yard is equal toA = lw+0.5bhSolve for b------> ( that means clear variable b)Subtract lw from both sidesA-lw = 0.5bhDivide by 0.5h on both sidesb = [tex]\frac{A-lw}{0.5h}[/tex]
