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"??
Yes, because then you'll have one equation with one unknown which is solvable.
Then substitute,
where A is known.
You have a quadratic equation in b which you can solve by factoring, graphing, or if all else fails the quadratic formula.
Good luck!
