Answer

h=2Abh = \frac{2A}{b}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

The formula for the area of a triangle is given by:

A=12×base×heightA = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}

where AA is the area, bb is the length of the base, and hh is the height.

To find the height (hh), we can rearrange this formula:

  1. Multiply both sides by 2.

    2A=b×h2A = b \times h
  2. Divide both sides by the base (bb).

    h=2Abh = \frac{2A}{b}
