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

Question

Which equation shows the formula in terms of h?
A) b = h/2A
B) h = b/2A
C) h = 2A/b
D) b = 2A/h

Answer 1

To express the formula for the area of a triangle, $A=\frac{bh}{2}$, in terms of $h$, we can rearrange the equation as follows:

1. Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

   $$2A=bh$$

2. Now, to solve for $h$, divide both sides by $b$:

   $$h=\frac{2A}{b}$$

This gives us the formula for $h$ in terms of $A$ and $b$.

Thus, the correct answer is:

C) $h=\frac{2A}{b}$.
