Multiple Choice

Solve the formula for the specified variable.
- $A = \frac { 1 } { 2 } h \left( b _ { 1 } + b _ { 2 } \right) ; \quad$ for $b _ { 1 }$

• A) \(b _ { 1 } = \frac { h \left( b _ { 2 } \right) - 2 A } { h }\)
• B) \(b _ { 1 } = \frac { A - h \left( b _ { 2 } \right) } { 2 h }\)
• C) \(b _ { 1 } = \frac { \left( b _ { 2 } \right) 2 \mathrm {~A} - \mathrm { h } } { \mathrm { h } }\)
• D) \(b _ { 1 } = \frac { 2 \mathrm {~A} - ( \mathrm { h } ) \left( \mathrm { b } _ { 2 } \right) } { \mathrm { h } }\)
