The surface area of a square pyramid can be calculated using the equation S=12lp+B . Rearrange the surface area equation for the quantity of interest B .(1 point)

Answer 1

To rearrange the surface area equation $S=\frac{1}{2}lp+B$ for the quantity $B$, you can follow these steps:

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

2. Isolate $B$ by subtracting $\frac{1}{2}lp$ from both sides: $$B=S-\frac{1}{2}lp$$

So, the rearranged equation for $B$ is: $$B=S-\frac{1}{2}lp$$
