Let's solve for b.

A=1/2bh

Step 1: Flip the equation.


(1)/(2) bh=A

Step 2: Divide both sides by h/2.


((1)/(2) bh)/((h)/(2))=(a)/((h)/(2) )

So, the answer for this problem is b=2A/h

A = 1/2 bh can be written as

A = bh/2.

2A = (bh/2)(2)

2A = bh

Divide both sides by h to find b.

2A/h = b

Done.
