b=2(A−h)

1/2 b = A/h

b=A/2h

b=2A/h

Answer 1

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

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

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

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

So the correct response is:
**b = 2A/h**.
