A rectangle is just a particular form of p-gram...defined, if memory serves, as "A p-gram with one right angle".

How do you work out the volume of a L shape?
By dividing it into two rectangles.
Do you have to use the same variables for all equations when creating a system of equations?
The idea is to work with the same variables, but it is possible that some of the variables are missing in some of the equations.
When is algebra used in every day life?
It is used in such professions such as science when working out equations and also with accountants when working out an amount of money to someone. Another profession that uses algebra is an Architect. They use equations to work out the size of buildings and other structures, also engineers Use algebra for precise calculations.
How do you work out the area of an L shape?
You should break it down in to smaller shapes. Two rectangles. Then figure out all the lengths. Multiply to find the area of the two rectangles. then add the products to get the final area.
Why is it advantageous to know a variety of ways to solve and graph quadratic equations?
since there'll always be a time when one or two don't work. also, it's easier to check work by using another strategy
What are the task of a chemistry?
To see what happens when chemicals are mixed together and also work out equations
Why won't squaring a side work with all rectangles to find the area?
Some rectangles don't have equal sides.
How can you work out the area of a cross?
Treat it as 3 rectangles.
Can two parallelograms with different shapes have the same area?
Sure. The area of a parallelogram is (length of base) times (vertical height). Many pairs of numbers can have the same product, but if the (base / height) of two parallelograms are different pairs of numbers, then their shapes are different. Example: A rectangle is a parallelogram that's easy to work with. Take two rectangles: Rectangle #1: Length=6, Width=5, Area=30 Rectangle #2: Length=15, Width=2, Area=30 These rectangles certainly have different shapes. In #1, the length is 83% of the width, and in #2, the length is only 13% of the width. But they both have the same area.
How do you work out the volume of a L shape?
By dividing it into two rectangles.
Do you have to use the same variables for all equations when creating a system of equations?
The idea is to work with the same variables, but it is possible that some of the variables are missing in some of the equations.
How do you find the area of an L shape?
Assuming you have the dimensions of each of the sides - treat it as two separate rectangles. Using the measurements you have, work out the areas of both rectangles - then add them together.
What is are equations in a worksheet?
Spreadsheet equations help you get work done more efficiently. If you enter a new set of data, the equations will automatically adjust to the data you just put in.
What term is defined as mathmatical equations based on rules of physics?
work = force x distance time = distance : time power = work : time force = ?
How can you determine if the given ordered pair is a solution to the system of equations?
Plug your ordered pair into both of your equations to see if you get they work.
Who is the father of fraction?
Sorry mate but I have no idea who it was, I think it was instine we all know he was a scientist but he also was an expert in maths , he used maths in his work and equations.
What can you do on a spread sheet?
Difficult mathematical equations as the software can work it out for you
