Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is A=1/2 bh. Which is the equivalent equation solved for h

a. 2a/b
b. 1/2 ab=h
c. 2ab=h
d. a/2b=h

Answer 1

`(1)/(2)bh=A\qquad|\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\bh=2A\qquad|\text{divide both sides by}\ b\\eq0\\\\\boxed{h=(2A)/(b)}\to\boxed{a.}`

Answer 2

A = 1/2 *b*h

multiply both sides by 2

2A = b*h

divide both sides by b

2A/b = h

choice A
