Responses

1/2 b = A/h
1 half b is equal to cap A over h

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

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

b=2(A−h)

Answer 1

To solve the area formula \( A = \frac{1}{2}hb \) for \( b \), we can follow these steps:

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

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

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

So, the correct response is: \[ b = \frac{2A}{h} \]

This is the solved formula for \( b \).
