Answer:

1. b = 2A/h

2. h = 2A/b

Explanation:

All you have to do is isolate the variable.

1.

Isolate b:

A = 1/2 x b x h

Multiply each side by 2

2A = b x h

Isolate b by dividing both sides by h

b = 2A/h

2.

Isolate h:

A = 1/2 x b x h

Multiply each side by 2

2A = b x h

Isolate h by dividing both sides by b

h = 2A/b
