Question

The area of a parallelogram is modeled by the formula, A = lw. Solve the equation for w.
w= a/i
w= 2ai
w= i/a
w= ai

Answer 1

The formula for the area \( A \) of a parallelogram is given by:

\[
A = lw
\]

where \( l \) is the length and \( w \) is the width (or height). To solve for \( w \), we can isolate \( w \) on one side of the equation.

Starting from the equation:

\[
A = lw
\]

we can divide both sides by \( l \) (assuming \( l \neq 0 \)):

\[
w = \frac{A}{l}
\]

So, if we can assume that \( A = a \) and \( l = i \) (based on your representation), we rewrite this as:

\[
w = \frac{a}{i}
\]

Thus, the correct formula for \( w \) is:

\[
w = \frac{a}{i}
\]

This implies that the correct answer is:

**w = a/i**
