When given a formula, we
solve for given input values.
Three such formulas are
surface area,
rate, and
density.
Let's do an example of each!
Just put the numbers in place of the variables.

In a rectangular prism, the
length is 5.5 cm, the width 1.9 cm, and the height 4 cm.
Find the surface area.
Formula:
SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
SA = 2(5.5)(1.9) + 2(5.5)(4)
+ 2(1.9)(4)
SA = 20.9 + 44 + 15.2
SA = 80.1 cm² |

Carli traveled 460
miles in 8 hours. At what average rate was she
traveling?
Formula:
d = rt
460 = 8r
r = 57.5 mph |

What is the
density of an object if its mass is 64 grams and its volume is
8 cm³?
Formula:
d = m/v
d = 64/ 8
d = 8 g/ cm³ |
Let's do some
practice problems!
