Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh, where b represents the length of the base and h represents the height. Part A; solve the formula for b.

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Given

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

2A = bh ( divide both sides by h )

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