Responses

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

h=b2A
h is equal to b over 2 cap A

b=h2A
b is equal to h over 2 cap A

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

Answer 1

To express the formula for the area of a triangle, \( A = \frac{1}{2}bh \), in terms of \( b \), you need to isolate \( b \).

Starting with the formula:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2}bh \]

To solve for \( b \), first multiply both sides by 2:

\[ 2A = bh \]

Next, divide both sides by \( h \):

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

So the correct equation showing the formula in terms of \( b\) is:

b = 2A / h

This corresponds to the first response option:

b is equal to 2 cap A over h
