You can put this solution on YOUR website!
BIM= W*704.5/H^2
\n" ); document.write( "You don't want the inverse of this.
\n" ); document.write( "You want to solve the equation for H.
\n" ); document.write( "1st: Interchange BIM and H^2
\n" ); document.write( "H^2 = 704.5*W/BIM
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square r=Root to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "H=sqrt[[704.5W/BIM]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
\n" ); document.write( "Stan H.
