1. P =F/A
Find A?
Find F?

Answer 1

To find the unknown variables \( A \) and \( F \) in the equation \( P = \frac{F}{A} \), we will rearrange the equation for each variable.

### Step 1: Solve for \( A \)

Starting with the original equation:

\[
P = \frac{F}{A}
\]

To solve for \( A \), we can multiply both sides by \( A \):

\[
PA = F
\]

Now, to isolate \( A \), we can rearrange the equation:

\[
A = \frac{F}{P}
\]

### Step 2: Solve for \( F \)

Using the same original equation \( P = \frac{F}{A} \) again, we will now solve for \( F \).

Starting again with:

\[
P = \frac{F}{A}
\]

Multiply both sides by \( A \):

\[
PA = F
\]

Thus, we can express \( F \) in terms of \( P \) and \( A \):

\[
F = PA
\]

### Final Answers

1. To find \( A \):
\[
A = \frac{F}{P}
\]

2. To find \( F \):
\[
F = PA
\]

Circle your final answers:

\[
\boxed{A = \frac{F}{P}}
\]

\[
\boxed{F = PA}
\]
