Math Problem Statement
In the formula for the volume of a cone, V = (1/3)πr^2h, solve for h. Step 1: Multiply both sides of the formula by ___. Step 2: Divide both sides by ___.
Solution
The formula given for the volume of a cone is:
You are asked to solve for (the height of the cone).
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the formula by 3
We multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
Step 2: Divide both sides by
Now, to isolate , divide both sides by :
Thus, the solution for is:
