What you really need to know! Formulas are sets of instructions that need to be followed. Write the formula. Replace the variables. Solve.
Example 1: If you travel 135 miles in 3 hours, what is your average speed in miles per hour? d = rt 135 = r(3) 45 = r 45 mph
Example 2: Find the perimeter of the rectangle. 70 cm 15 cm 20 cm p = 2 l + 2w p =
Example 3: The perimeter of a rectangle is 60 feet. Its width is 9 feet. Find its length. p = 2 l + 2w 60 = 2 l = 2 l + 18
Example 3: The perimeter of a rectangle is 60 feet. Its width is 9 feet. Find its length. 42 = 2 l 21 = l 21 feet 60 = 2 l + 18
a = l w a = 146 a = 84 ft 2 Example 4: Find the area of a rectangle with length 14 feet and width 6 feet. 84 ft 2 6 ft 14 ft Area Demo
Example 5: The area of a rectangle is 40 square meters. Its length is 8 meters. Find its width. a = l w 40 = 8w 5 = w 5 m
