Question

Solve for the width in the formula for the area of a triangle

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{2A}{h} = w$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is $A = wh\frac{1}{2}$

Now we have to isolate for w.

First multiply by the 2 which is the reciprocal of 1/2 to cancel it out.

$2A = wh$

Now divide by h to isolate w.

$\frac{2A}{h} = w$
