The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=π r(squared) h Solve V=π r(squared) h for h, the height of the cylinder

Answer 1

So the idea is to isolate h. Right now it is solved for V.

V= pi*r²•h

1) divide by pi on both sides bc pi is being multiplied to h

V/pi= pi•r²•h/pi ( the pi cancels out)

V/pi = r²•h

2) divide by r² on both sides because you want h alone

V/(pi•r²) = r²•h/r² ( the r² then cancels out on the right side)

3) now h is alone so the left side now says V/(pi•r²) =h OR

h= V/(pi•r²) ( using the symmetric property)

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Answer 2

V = π r^2 h ......this is the equation

^{you have to solve the equation for h}

^{dividing both sides by πr^2 we get,}

^{V/πr^2= h}

^{so h = V/ π r^2}
