You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You nearly have the area. What is still needed is the proper grouping symbols unless you do this on paper and can supply the correct notation there.
A=%281%2F2%29h%28a%2Bb%29

That is the formula you are looking to make. Anything more specific, you need the actual values.
