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

Question

Which equation shows the formula in terms of h?
A) b = h/2A
B) h = b/2A
C) h = 2A/b
D) b = 2A/h

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 as follows:

1. Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

   \[ 2A = bh \]

2. Now, to solve for \( h \), divide both sides by \( b \):

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

This gives us the formula for \( h \) in terms of \( A \) and \( b \).

Thus, the correct answer is:

C) \( h = \frac{2A}{b} \).
