Unit: Knowledge of Algebra, Patterns, and Functions
Objective: Apply given formulas to a problem-solving situation using formulas having no more than three variables.
Example 1:
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the length (L) plus twice the width (W). P = 2L + 2W
Use the given formula to find the perimeter of the rectangle.
P = 2L + 2W
Write the equation
P = 2(10) + 2(8)
Replace L and W with the length and width
8 cm
P = 20 + 16
Multiply
P = 36 cm
Simplify and add the correct label
10 cm
Example 2:
A = π r
The area A of a circle equals the product of pi (π) and the square of its radius (r).
(π ≈ 3.14)
2
Use the given formula to find the area of the circle.
A = π r
r = 2 ft
Write the equation

Replace π with 3.14 and r with 2
A = 3.14
