Math Problem Statement

Which equation allows us to easily find the height of the cylinder because it is solved for h?

Solution

The given equation for the volume of a cylinder is:

V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h

Where:

  • VV is the volume of the cylinder,
  • rr is the radius of the cylinder,
  • hh is the height of the cylinder.

We are tasked with finding the equation that is solved for hh (the height). Let's manipulate the formula to isolate hh.

Starting with:

V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h

To solve for hh, divide both sides of the equation by πr2\pi r^2:

h=Vπr2h = \frac{V}{\pi r^2}

The correct answer is the last option:

h=Vπr2h = \frac{V}{\pi r^2}

Let me know if you need more details or have any questions.

Here are some related questions you might explore:

  1. How can we solve for rr if we know VV and hh?
  2. What would happen to the height if the radius doubles while the volume stays constant?
  3. How does the formula for the volume of a cylinder compare to that of a cone?
  4. Can this formula be applied to other shapes, like spheres or cubes?
  5. How do units of measurement (such as cm³) affect calculations with this formula?

Tip: When solving for a variable, remember to keep units consistent across all quantities to avoid errors.
