The surface area of a square pyramid can be calculated using the equation S=1/2lp+B . Rearrange the surface area equation for the quantity of interest B .(1 point) B=____

Answer 1

To rearrange the surface area equation \( S = \frac{1}{2} lp + B \) for \( B \), you will isolate \( B \) on one side of the equation. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Start with the original equation: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} lp + B \]

2. Subtract \( \frac{1}{2} lp \) from both sides: \[ B = S - \frac{1}{2} lp \]

So the rearranged equation for \( B \) is: \[ B = S - \frac{1}{2} lp \]
