Question

The area of a triangle is 150 cm squared. If the area of a triangle is given by the formula A=1/2bxh, write an equation which relates the triangles base, b, as a function of its height, h. (In other words, solve for the base, in terms of h.)

Answer 1

150 = (1/2)bh

2(150) = [(1/2)bh]2

300 = bh

300/b = bh/b

h = 300/b
