Using A&P Formulas to Solve for Dimensions
Working Backwards
Your algebra skills meet your geometry skills when you use area and perimeter formulas to solve for missing dimensions.
STEP 1: WATCH THE VIRTUAL CLASS VIDEO AND TAKE NOTES
Make sure to note the following:
Prerequisite: You may want to review perfect squares before completing this lesson.
Have you been given the area or perimeter of a 2-dimensional shape and been asked to find a missing dimension like a length, width, height, base, or radius? Simply chose the correct formula from the GED® Formula Sheet, substitute in the known values, and solve for the missing dimension using your algebra skills learned in Unit 1.
