Question

question 1 / 2
the formula for the area of a triangle is ( a = \frac{1}{2}bh )
solve for ( h ) in terms of ( a ) and ( b ).
a. ( h = a / 2b )
b. ( h = 2a / b )
c. ( h = b / 2a )
d. ( h = 2ba )

Explanation:

Step 1: Start with the formula

We have the formula for the area of a triangle \( A=\frac{1}{2}bh \).

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 2

To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 2. This gives us \( 2A = bh \).

Step 3: Divide both sides by \( b \)

To solve for \( h \), divide both sides of the equation \( 2A = bh \) by \( b \). So, \( h=\frac{2A}{b} \).

Answer:

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