# 1

A=2h%28L%2Bw%29 Start with the given equation.


A%2F%282%28L%2BW%29%29=h Divide both sides by 2(L+W).


h=A%2F%282%28L%2BW%29%29 Rearrange the equation


So the solution is h=A%2F%282%28L%2BW%29%29




# 2

A=2h%28L%2Bw%29 Start with the given equation.


A=2hL%2B2hw Distribute


A-2hW=2hL Subtract 2hW from both sides.


%28A-2hW%29%2F%282h%29=L Divide both sides by 2h.


L=%28A-2hW%29%2F%282h%29 Rearrange the equation


So the solution is L=%28A-2hW%29%2F%282h%29
