A formula is a brief and clear description of the mathematical relationship between variables. If values can be found for all the literal values in the formula, it can be evaluated.
Example: Area of a trapezoid : ½ h(a + b) h=15, a= 13, b=27
½ (15)(13 + 27) = 300 sq. units
Substitute the given values into the following formulas and solve the resulting expression.
