SOLUTION: Let b equal the base and h equal the height of the rectangle. Write an algebraic expression that shows the relationship between the base and the height. (I'm thinking: b=p-2h/2?

Question 200034: Let b equal the base and h equal the height of the rectangle. Write an algebraic expression that shows the relationship between the base and the height. (I'm thinking: b=p-2h/2???)
Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Actually, there is no relationship between the base and the height of a rectangle. They are mutually exclusive elements!
Perhaps you have omitted something from your question, such as:
Write an algebraic expression that shows the relationship between the base and the height FOR A GIVEN PERIMETER, P.
If this is so, then you can write:
...and if you want this in terms of the base, b, then...
or, in terms of h...
