a = \frac{1}{2} b h

$a = \frac{1}{2} b h$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as

\frac{1}{2} \cdot (b h) = a

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (b h) = a$ .

\frac{1}{2} \cdot (b h) = a

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

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by

2

$2$ .

2 (\frac{1}{2} \cdot (b h)) = 2 a

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