Given the formula for the area of the rectangle 

Area = (base) (height) 

A = bh

Solve for b

Solution:

In order to solve for b, simply divide h on both sides of the equation to have the formula for b.

A/h = bh/h

b = A/h

Therefore the base of a triangle is equal to its total area divided by height.
