Final answer:

To solve for h in A = h/2 (a + b), multiply both sides by 2 and then divide both sides by (a + b) to isolate h, giving h = 2A / (a + b).

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-Step Solution to Solve for h

To solve for h in the equation A = h/2 (a + b), follow these steps:

Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction: 2A = h (a + b).

Now, to isolate h, divide both sides of the equation by (a + b): h = 2A / (a + b).

Now, h is isolated and you have solved for h in terms of A, a, and b.
