Question

The area of a triangle is A= 1/2bh. If the sum of the base and height is 8 find the area as a function of b.
with steps please.

Answer 1

" If the sum of the base and height is 8"

So given that b+h = 8.

We need to isolate h so we can input it into \(A = \dfrac{1}{2}bh\) to determine area as function of b.
