The area of a triangle A can be found with the formula A = 1/2bh where b is the length of the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle. Solve the formula for h.

Answer 1

You can use inverse operations to create an equation for h.

First multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

A = 1 b h

2

2 • A = 2 • 1 b h

2

2 A = b h

Now divide both sides of the equation by b:

2A = b h

b b

2A = h
