Question

Solve the area formula for h

Answer 1

The answer is C:
`h = (2A)/(b)`

Starting with the given formula for the area, A = 1/2hb, the first step is to isolate h by using the multiplicative inverse of b, which is
`(1)/(b)` on both sides of the equation:

`A((1)/(b)) = (1)/(2)hb* ((1)/(b))`

The result will be:

`(A)/(b) = (1)/(2)h`

The last step is to use the multiplicative inverse of
`(1)/(2)`, which is 2 or
`(2)/(1)` to further isolate the variable h :

`(A)/(b) ((2)/(1)) = ((2)/(1)) (1)/(2) h`

The formula for h will be:

`h = (2A)/(b)` which is the option C in your question.
