b=2(A−h)

b=A/2h

1/2b=A/h

b=2A/h

Answer 1

To solve the area formula \( A = \frac{1}{2}hb \) for \( b \), follow these steps:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2}hb
\]

2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
\[
2A = hb
\]

3. Finally, divide both sides by \( h \) to solve for \( b \):
\[
b = \frac{2A}{h}
\]

Thus, the correct response is:
\[
\text{b} = \frac{2A}{h}
\]

So the correct answer from your options is:
**b = 2A/h**.
