Math Problem Statement
The formula V = 1/3 BH can be used to find the volume of a cone. Solve the formula for h.
Solution
The problem asks to solve for in the formula for the volume of a cone:
Where:
- is the volume of the cone,
- is the area of the base (which is usually for a circular base),
- is the height of the cone.
To solve for :
-
Start with the given formula:
-
Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
-
Finally, divide both sides by to isolate :
So the height in terms of the volume and base area is:
