Algebra.Com's Answer #215826 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Are you asking \"Can you solve for b and h if you are given the area and a relationship between b and h\"?? \n" ); document.write( "Yes, because then you'll have one equation with one unknown which is solvable. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Then substitute, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "where A is known. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "You have a quadratic equation in b which you can solve by factoring, graphing, or if all else fails the quadratic formula. \n" ); document.write( "Good luck! \n" ); document.write( " |
