Responses

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

b=A2h
b is equal to cap A over 2 h

b=2(A−h)
b is equal to 2 times open paren cap A minus h close paren

12b=Ah

Answer 1

To solve the area formula for \( b \), we start with the original formula for the area of a triangle:

\[
A = \frac{1}{2}hb
\]

To isolate \( b \), we will first multiply both sides of the equation by \( 2 \):

\[
2A = hb
\]

Next, we will divide both sides by \( h \):

\[
b = \frac{2A}{h}
\]

So the correct option for the value of \( b \) is:

**b = 2Ah**
