The formula for the area of a triangle is A = bh/2

Question

Which equation shows the formula in terms of h?

(1 point)

b= 2A/h

h= 2A/b

b = h/2A

h= b/2A

Answer 1

To express the formula for the area of a triangle, \( A = \frac{bh}{2} \), in terms of \( h \), we can rearrange the equation.

Starting with:

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

First, we can multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

\[ 2A = bh \]

Next, we divide both sides by \( b \) to solve for \( h \):

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

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

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

Thus, the correct answer is:

h = 2A/b
