Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
To solve for h, we want to use algebraic properties to isolate h.
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}h(b_1 +b_2)[/tex] [multiply both sides by 2]
[tex]2A=h(b_1 +b_2)[/tex] [divide both sides by b₁+b₂]
[tex]\frac{2A}{b_1+b_2} =h[/tex]
[tex]h=\frac{2A}{b_1+b_2}[/tex]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b.
To solve for b₂, we first multiply both sides by 2. Then, we divide both sides by h. This leaves us with [tex]\frac{2A}{h} =b_1+b_2[/tex]. To get b₂, you subtract both sides by b₁.
