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.
