Question

solve the area of a triangle formula for the variable (b): (a=\frac{1}{2}bh). note: in this formula, (a =) area, (h =) height, and (b =) base. (b = 2ah) (b=\frac{a}{2h}) (b=\frac{2a}{h}) (b=\frac{ah}{2})

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by 2

$2A = bh$

Step2: Divide both sides by h

$b=\frac{2A}{h}$

Answer:

$b=\frac{2A}{h}$ (corresponding to the third option in the multiple - choice)
