Solve for c. a(c + b)=d a. c = d + ab / a b. c = d β ab/b c. c = d β ab/a d. c = ab β d/a solve for b. d = 3a + 3b a. b = 3aβd/3 b. b = dβ3a/3 c. b = d β 3a d. b = d β 3a/ a the formula for a trapezoid relates the area a, the two bases, a and b, and the height, h. a = h(a+b)/2 solve for b. b=2aβa/h b=ah/2 β a b=2a/h β a b=2a/h + a the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is p = 2(l+w). solve for l. l = 2p β w l = pβw/2 l = p/2 + w l = p/2 β w
