Question

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula A 1/2= (b 1 + b 2)h, where base b 1 is parallel to base b 2 and h is the height. Solve the formula for h

Answer 1

\[\large A=\frac12\left( b_1+b_2 \right)\cdot h\]you want to re-write this equation so that you only left with \(h\) on one side of the equal to sign.

Answer 2

1
A = --- ( b_1 +b_2)*h
2

2A = (b_1+b_2)*h
2A
h = -----------
(b_1 +b_2)

hope this will help you
