b=2(A−h)

b=A/2h

1/2b=A/h

b=2A/h

Answer 1

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

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

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

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

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

So the correct answer from your options is: b = 2A/h.
