Given:

A=½(a+b)h

Solve for h.

Solution :

In order to solve for the value of h, we must first multiply both sides by 2 in order to cancel out ½

A=½(a+b)h

(2)A=½(a+b)h(2)

2A = (a+b)h

Now we need to divide (a+b) on both sides of the equation in order to get the equation for h.

2A /(a + b)= h

Final answer:

h = 2A/(a + b)
