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:

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

\[ \boxed{F = PA} \]
