Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is A=1/2bh
, where b is the base and h is the height. Rearrange the formula to solve for the height (h).

Answer 1

Answer:

$h=\dfrac{2A}{b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is given by :

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh$

Where

b is base and h is height

We need to rearrange the formula to solve for height h.

Cross multiply the given relation

$2A=bh$

Dividing both sides by b.

$\dfrac{2A}{b}=\dfrac{bh}{b}\\\\h=\dfrac{2A}{b}$

So, the formula for the height of the triangle is $\dfrac{2A}{b}$.
