Math Problem Statement

V = (1/3)πr²h, solve for h.

Solution

The equation in the image is:
V=13πr2hV = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
You are tasked with solving for hh.


Step-by-step solution:

  1. Start with the equation: V=13πr2hV = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

  2. Eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides by 3: 3V=πr2h3V = \pi r^2 h

  3. Solve for hh by dividing both sides by πr2\pi r^2: h=3Vπr2h = \frac{3V}{\pi r^2}


Final Answer:

h=3Vπr2h = \frac{3V}{\pi r^2}
