Question

Solve for b2 in A=1/2 h(b1+b2), if A=16, h=4, and b1=3

Answer 1

Answer:

$b_{2}$ = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given values into the formula

16 = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 4(3 + $b_{2}$)

16 = 2(3 + $b_{2}$) ( divide both sides by 2 )

8 = 3 + $b_{2}$ ( subtract 3 from both sides )

5 = $b_{2}$
