In solving the formula A = (1/2)bh, in solving for h, you could first multiply both side by 1/2. True or False?

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply both sides by 1/2, you will get 1/4 at the right side.

So the correct way, to solve h, you have to divide both sides by 1/2.

Ok keeping in mind that an absolute value is never negative, let's put these numbers in order. 

|-4.2| = 4.2
|-4/-5| = 4/5
|-1| = 1
-2 = -2
|3.5| = 3.5

I'm going to go down that list and put them in order as I go.

|-4.2|
|-4/-5|, |-4.2|
|-4/-5|, |-1|, |-4.2|
-2, |-4/-5|, |-1|, |-4.2|
-2, |-4/-5|, |-1|, |3.5|, |-4.2|

The answer is -2, |-4/-5|, |-1|, |3.5|, |-4.2| :)
