The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula A 1/2 = (b 1 + b 2) h, where base b 1 is parallel to base b 2 and h is the height. Solve the formula for b 2. Show your work.

We are given with the area of the trapezoid expressed in the formula A = 0.5 * (b1+b2) * h. to express the formula in terms of b2, we multiply the equation by 2 and then divide by h. Then, we subtract with b1. the final equation becomes b2 = (2A/h) - b1.
