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

Step 1

Apply the distributive property.

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

Step 2

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

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

Step 3

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

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

Step 4

Apply the distributive property.

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

Step 5

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

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

Step 6

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

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