Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is 1A bh2=, where b is the length of the base and his the height. Rearrange the formula to isolate h

Answer 1

h = 2A/b

Explanation:

Area of a triangle, A = 1/2bh

Where,

b = base of the triangle

h = height of the triangle

Rearrange the formula to isolate h

A = 1/2bh

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * A = 2 * 1/2bh

2A = bh

Divide both sides by b

2A / b = bh / b

2A / b = h

Therefore,

h = 2A/b
