A=(1)/(2)(B+b)h

First step is to divide both sides of the equation by h


(A)/(h)=\text{ }(1)/(2)(B+b)

Now you have to invert the equation, to do so you have to power it by -1


\begin{gathered} ((A)/(h))^((-1))=((1)/(2)(B+b))^((-1)) \\ (h)/(A)=2((1)/(B+b)) \end{gathered}

Now you divide both sides by A


h=2((1)/(B+b))((1)/(A))
