Given the formula:


A\text{ = }(1)/(2)bh

a) Rewrite for b:

First step: Multiply 2 to both sides


\begin{gathered} 2A\text{ = }(1)/(2)bh\text{ }\ast2 \\ \\ 2A\text{ = bh} \end{gathered}

Second step: divide both sides by h


(2A)/(h)\text{ = b}
\begin{gathered} \text{Thus,} \\ b\text{ = }(2A)/(h) \end{gathered}

B) Rewrite for h:

First step: Multiply 2 to both sides


\begin{gathered} 2A\text{ = }(1)/(2)bh\ast2 \\ \\ 2A\text{ = bh} \end{gathered}

Second step: divide both sides by b


\begin{gathered} (2A)/(b)\text{ = }(bh)/(b) \\ \\ (2A)/(b)\text{ = h} \end{gathered}
h\text{ = }(2A)/(b)
