Formulas and Equation-Solving Solve formulas for a variety of situations. Lesson 3.7

Good to Know! Formulas are very useful in calculating quantities such as area, perimeter, interest earned in a bank account, distance and batting average. Previously, you have evaluated these formulas when you were given values to substitute for the variables. In this lesson, you will be able to work backwards to find a missing value in the equation by using your equation-solving skills. GEOMETRY FORMULAS TO USE IN THIS LESSON

Working with Equations to Solve for a Missing Value 1.Find the formula that fits the situation given. 2.Substitute all known values for the variables into the formula. 3.Determine if any numbers can be multiplied that are on the same side of the equals sign. If so, multiply those numbers. 4.Solve the equation using inverse operations. 5.Write out the answer in a complete sentence.

The area of a triangle is 36 square units. The base is 8 units long. What is the height of the triangle? Write the formula. Substitute values for the variables. Two numbers need to be multiplied on the36 = 4h right-hand side of the equation before solving. Solve the equation using inverse operations.36 = 4h 4 4 a 9 = h a The height of the triangle is 9 units. Example 1

Good to Know! More useful formulas: I = prtd = rtB = I =interest p= initial deposit (“principal”) r=rate (as a decimal) t=time d=distance r=rate t=time B=batting average h =hits a=‘at bats’

Kenny deposited $500 in a bank account. After 3 years, Kenny earned $90 interest. Use the simple interest formula to determine the interest rate for this account. Write the formula. a I = prt Substitute values for the variables. 90 = 500  r  3 Multiply before solving. 90 = 1500  r Solve the equation using inverse 90 = 1500r operations = r Change the decimal to a percent by0.06(100) = 6% multiplying by 100. Kenny earned an interest rate of 6%. Example 2 I =interest p= initial deposit r=rate (as a decimal) t=time

The volume of a rectangular box is 60 cubic inches. The length of the box is 5 inches and the height of the box is 2 inches. Find the width of the box. Write the formula.Volume = lwh Substitute values for the variables.60 = (5)w(2) Multiply the two numbers on the60 = 10w right-hand side before solving. Solve the equation using inverse60 = 10w operations = w The box has a width of 6 inches. Example 3

Describe a situation outside of the math classroom when you would need to use one of the formulas from this lesson. Communication Prompt
