Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = (bh)/2 Which equation show the formula in terms of b? (1 point ) h = (2A)/b; h = b/(2A); b = h/(2A); b = (2A)/h

Answer 1

To rewrite the formula \( A = \frac{bh}{2} \) in terms of \( b \), we need to isolate \( b \).

Starting with the area formula:

\[
A = \frac{bh}{2}
\]

Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

\[
2A = bh
\]

Next, to isolate \( b \), divide both sides by \( h \):

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

Therefore, the equation that shows the formula in terms of \( b \) is:

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

So the correct answer is \( b = \frac{2A}{h} \).
