Math Problem Statement

Solve for b given the equation A = 1/2 * b * h.

Solution

The question asks to solve for bb given the equation:

A=12bhA = \frac{1}{2} b h

Steps to solve for bb:

  1. Start with the equation: A=12bhA = \frac{1}{2} b h
  2. Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction: 2A=bh2A = b h
  3. Finally, divide both sides by hh to solve for bb: b=2Ahb = \frac{2A}{h}

So, the correct expression for bb is 2Ah\frac{2A}{h}.

Looking at the provided options in the image, the correct answer corresponds to the third option: b=2Ahb = \frac{2A}{h}

  1. How would you solve for hh instead of bb in the same formula?
  2. What kind of shape or geometric figure does this formula likely represent?
  3. How would you apply this formula to find bb if the area AA and height hh are given specific values?
  4. Can this formula be rearranged to express AA in terms of bb and hh?
  5. How would you modify this formula if the area formula changes, for example, for a circle or a different geometric figure?

Tip: Always isolate the variable you want to solve for by performing inverse operations step by step.
