$a . Thesolutionforthegivenformulaish=20 b . Wecanfindtheheightofatriangle,ifweknowtheareaandbasebyusingtheformuala,h= \frac{2 A}{b}$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

The given formula is $A = \frac{1}{2} b 脳 h$ .

We have to solve the given eqauation for h : when 鈸� A = 170 and b = 17 鈸� in general

Step 2. Part(b). Explanation

$\begin{array}{l} Solve:a.WhenA=170andb=17 \\ GivenformulaA= \frac{1}{2} 脳 b 脳 h \\ 鈬� 170= \frac{1}{2} 脳 17 脳 h (Substitute) \\ 鈬� 2 脳 170=2 脳 \frac{1}{2} 脳 17 脳 h (Multiplybothsidesby2) \\ 鈬� 340 = 17 脳 h (simplify) \\ 鈬� \frac{340}{17} = \frac{17 脳 h}{17} (Dividebothsidesby17) \\ 鈬� 20 =h(Simplify) \\ Thesolutionforthegivenformulaish=20 \end{array}$

Step 2. Part(b)

$\begin{array}{l} b.Ingeneral \\ GivenformulaA= \frac{1}{2} 脳 b 脳 h \\ 鈬� 2 脳 A= 2 脳 \frac{1}{2} 脳 b 脳 h (Multiplybothsidesby2toclearthefraction) \\ 鈬� 2 A= b 脳 h (Simplify) \\ 鈬� \frac{2 A}{b} = \frac{b 脳 h}{b} (Dividebothsidesbyb) \\ 鈬� \frac{2 A}{b} = h (Simplifyforh) \\ Wecanfindtheheightofatriangle,ifweknowtheareaandbasebyusingtheformuala,h= \frac{2 A}{b} \end{array}$
