Question

The area of a triangle can be found using the formula: A=12hb Solve the area formula for b. (1 point) Responses b=2(A−h) b is equal to 2 times open paren cap A minus h close paren b=A2h b is equal to cap A over 2 h 12b=Ah 1 half b is equal to cap A over h b=2Ah

Answer 1

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

1. Start with the formula:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} h b
\]

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

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

So the correct answer is:
\[
b = \frac{2A}{h}
\]
