Question

Identify the option that correctly solve the formula for a


A=(a+b)2h

choose the option that is closest or somewhat correct
Responses

a=2hA−b
A is equal to 2 h cap A minus b

a=2Ah−b
A is equal to 2 cap A over h minus b

a=b−Ah2
A is equal to b minus cap A h over 2
choose which one is correct or somewhat correct just choose
a=Ah2−b

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( A = (a + b) 2h \) for \( a \), you start by manipulating the equation:

1. Divide both sides by \( 2h \):
\[
\frac{A}{2h} = a + b
\]

2. Subtract \( b \) from both sides:
\[
a = \frac{A}{2h} - b
\]

Now, let's evaluate the provided options:

1. **a = 2hA - b**
- Incorrect.

2. **a = 2Ah - b**
- Incorrect.

3. **a = b - Ah/2**
- Incorrect.

4. **a = Ah/2 - b**
- Not correct as this also has the incorrect sequence.

Based on the steps taken to correctly manipulate the formula, none of the options provided is correct or somewhat correct according to the right steps. However, if you had to pick one that is closest, it would be option 4, \( a = Ah/2 - b \), but please note that even this is not correct according to the original equation.

Thus, it appears none of the answers correctly solve for \( a \) based on the given formula.
