Explaining Formula Revisions in Landscaping

Imagine you are a senior landscaping technician training a new employee on how to design triangular garden beds. The employee knows the standard area formula A=12bhA = \frac{1}{2}bh but needs to calculate the required base length (bb) directly when the total area (AA) and height (hh) are provided by the client. Describe from memory the exact algebraic steps you would teach them to rewrite the standard area formula to solve for the base (bb). Start with the original formula and explain each mathematical operation clearly.
