Fill in the blanks to explain the step below.
A=1/2(b to the 1st power + b to the second power)h
solve for h
To solve for h in the equation A = (1/2) (b^1 + b^2)h, we can follow these steps:
1. Start by isolating h on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:
2A = (1/2)(b^1 + b^2)h * 2
2. Simplify the expression on the right-hand side:
2A = (b^1 + b^2)h
3. Divide both sides of the equation by (b^1 + b^2) to isolate h:
(2A) / (b^1 + b^2) = h
Therefore, the value of h can be found by taking 2 times A and dividing it by the sum of b raised to the 1st power and b raised to the 2nd power.
