Question

Show your work: Solve for b, where A is the area of a rectangle, b is the length of the base of the rectangle, and h is the height of the rectangle. Ab h

Answer 1

`b = (A)/(h)`

Explanation:

Given the formula for calculating the area of the rectangle as;

A = bh where;

b is the length of the base of the rectangle, and;

h is the height of the rectangle

Required

Make b the subject of the formula

Given

`A = bh\\\\divide \ both \ sides \ by \ h\\(A)/(h) = (bh)/(h)\\ (A)/(h) = b\\Re-arrange;\\b = (A)/(h)`

Hence the value of b in terms of A and h is expressed as
`b = (A)/(h)`
