The formula for the area of a triangle is A= bh/2
.

Which equation shows the formula in terms of b?

(1 point)
Responses

b= 2A/h
b is equal to 2 cap A over h

b= h/2A
b is equal to h over 2 cap A

h= 2/Ab
h is equal to 2 cap A over b

h= b/2A

Answer 1

To rearrange the formula for the area of a triangle, \( A = \frac{bh}{2} \), in terms of \( b \):

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

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

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

So the equation in terms of \( b \) is:
\[
b = \frac{2A}{h}
\]

The correct response is:
**b = 2A/h** (b is equal to 2 cap A over h)
