Answer 1

pic?

Answer 2

there wasnt one but theres a second question pertaining to the first question

Answer 3

Using the above formula find h when A = 24 and b = 8.

Answer 4

@triciaal

Answer 5

ohh ok

Answer 6

@texaschic101

Answer 7

sub in your values given
A = 1/2 * b * h
24 = 1/2 * 8 * h
24 = 4h
24/4 = h
6 = h

any questions at all ?

Answer 8

just divide 24 by 4

Answer 9

yea id get bad points for not showing work

Answer 10

show the entire process so the asker will understand...do not tell him to just divide 24 by 4

Answer 11

and thank you oh and did you answer number one or number two

Answer 12

I found h when A = 24 and b = 8.....h = 6

Answer 13

ok that was number two can you help with number one plsssss

Answer 14

yea

Answer 15

We have to do inverse operations to get something by itself.

To get h by itself you have to ask what is happening to h.

h is being multiplied by b and multiplied by 1/2

The inverse

divide by b and divide by 1/2

Then h is by itself.

A=1/2bh divide by b

A/b=1/2h divide by 1/2 (which is the same as multiplying 2/1 remember the rules from fractions)

2A/b=h

Answer 16

I hope this help! :D

Answer 17

A = 1/2bh....looking for h
multiply both sides by 2
2A = bh -- now divide both sides by b
(2A)/b = h
I agree with EmoBae ^^
