Solving the Area of a Triangle Formula for $h$

To solve the area of a triangle formula, $A = \frac{1}{2}bh$ , for the height $h$ , first clear the fraction by multiplying both sides by $2$ , which gives $2A = bh$ . Finally, divide both sides by the base $b$ to isolate $h$ , resulting in $h = \frac{2A}{b}$ .
