A=1/2bh 1st step: Multiply both sides by 2 2A=bh 2nd step: Divide both sides by h 2A/h=b The equation is used to find the area of a triangle. The problem is asking to use this formula to find the formula to find the height of a triangle. b=base of the triangle h= height of the triangle A= Area of the traingle Although, if other geometry based problems use these problems it's just base and height and Area.
