Solve the Inequality for a a=1/2h(b_1+b_2)

$a = \frac{1}{2} h (b_{1} + b_{2})$

Step 1

Remove parentheses.

$a = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (h (b_{1} + b_{2}))$

Step 2

Remove parentheses.

$a = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (h (b_{1} + b_{2}))$

Step 3

Simplify $\frac{1}{2} \cdot (h (b_{1} + b_{2}))$ .

Apply the distributive property.

$a = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (h b_{1} + h b_{2})$

Apply the distributive property.

$a = \frac{1}{2} (h b_{1}) + \frac{1}{2} (h b_{2})$

Multiply $\frac{1}{2} (h b_{1})$ .

Combine $h$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$a = \frac{h}{2} b_{1} + \frac{1}{2} (h b_{2})$

Combine $\frac{h}{2}$ and $b_{1}$ .

$a = \frac{h b_{1}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} (h b_{2})$

Multiply $\frac{1}{2} (h b_{2})$ .

Combine $h$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$a = \frac{h b_{1}}{2} + \frac{h}{2} b_{2}$

Combine $\frac{h}{2}$ and $b_{2}$ .

$a = \frac{h b_{1}}{2} + \frac{h b_{2}}{2}$
