S= 2LW + 2LH + 2WH
solve for W

Rewrite the equation as

2lw+2lh+2wh=a.2lw+2lh+2wh=a

Subtract

2lh

from both sides of the equation.

2lw+2wh=a−2lh

Factor

2w out of 2lw+2wh.

2w(|+h)=w−2lh

Divide each term by

2(l+h)

and simplify.

.w=a−2lh2(l+h)

the degrees would remain the same ( the number to the left of the decimal point.

the multiply the decimal by 60 to get the minutes and use the numbers to the left of the decimal point.

then multiply the decimal portion of that by 60 for the seconds and round off as needed.

39 .956652

the 39 remains the degrees.

the minutes = 0.956652 x 60 = 57.39912

the minutes = 57

the seconds = 0.39912 x 60 = 23.95 = 24 ( rounded to nearest tenth)

so 39.956652 = 39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds

-75.159809

the -75 remains the degrees

the minutes = 0.159809 x 60 = 9.58854

the minutes = 9

the seconds = 0.58854 x 60 = 35.31, rounded to nearest tenth = 35.3 seconds

so -75.159809 = -75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds.

the first coordinate is north or south, since it it positive it is north.

the second number is east or west, because it is negative it is west.

39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds n
