V=1/3xPixr^2h The letter R stands for the radius of the circular base of the cone and H is the height of the cone solve for H


H= ??

Edit: 3Pi R^2/V is that the answer?

I dont get this problem because it is just stating the formula to get Volume. Is this a trick question?

I tried putting in 2 for R and 3 for H and got 12.56 but I still have no idea what I am doing.

Such an easy question lol, I think I am over thinking it.

The question just asks you to rearrange the algebraic equation to yield a new expression that gives you h. It will have the form h = (some stuff on the right-hand side)

h = 3V / Pi * r²
