To solve for the variable \( b \) in the equation \( A = \frac{bh}{2} \), we start by isolating \( b \).

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

\[
2A = bh
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by \( h \) to solve for \( b \):

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

Thus, the correct expression for \( b \) is:

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

However, none of the provided options match this formula directly. It seems there may have been a misunderstanding with the choices. If you meant to input the expression on the left and chose the best fit:

Here's a brief look at the options you provided:
- \( b = 2ah \) - Incorrect
- \( b = \frac{2h}{a} \) - Incorrect
- \( b = 2a - h \) - Incorrect
- \( b = \frac{2a}{h} \) - Incorrect

None of these options are the correct rearrangement for \( b \) based upon the equation you provided. If you provided values for \( A \) and \( h \) and wanted to find the specific value, please clarify.

Given the options you provided:

1. \( b = 2ah \)
2. \( b = \frac{2h}{a} \)
3. \( b = 2a - h \)
4. \( b = \frac{2a}{h} \)

Among these, none are the correct rearrangement of the equation \( A = \frac{bh}{2} \).

However, if you must choose one, the closest option to a potential rearrangement based on manipulating similar expressions would be **Option 4: \( b = \frac{2a}{h} \)**.

But please note, this choice does not accurately reflect the rearrangement of the original equation \( A = \frac{bh}{2} \). If your context or specifics allow it, please check the given choices.
