Question

In a triangle, the height of a triangle, h, is measured by the formula h=2A/b where A = area of a triangle and b = base of a triangle. Solve the formula for b. b=........(Simplify answer.)

Answer 1

Equation solving

We are given the formula

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

We need to solve the formula for b.

The formula needs to be expressed in such a way b is isolated at the left side

To do that, we'll do some basic operations as needed

First, we multiply by b

`h\cdot b=(2A)/(b)\cdot b`

Simplifying the right side:

`h\cdot b=2A`

Dividing by h:

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