Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is A=bh2 . Which equation shows the formula in terms of b? (1 point) Responses h=b2A h is equal to b over 2 cap A b=h2A b is equal to h over 2 cap A h=2Ab h is equal to 2 cap A over b b=2Ah

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a triangle is given by:

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

To write this equation in terms of \( b \), we can rearrange the formula:

1. Start with the original formula:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} bh
\]

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

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

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

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

This matches the response **"b=2Ah"**.
