Use Properties of Equality to isolate h on one side of the equation.
h=3V/Ï€ r^2
To solve the given formula for h, we will use the Properties of Equality to apply inverse operations on the equation. Remember, only like terms can be combined.
LHS * 3=RHS* 3
.LHS /Ï€.=.RHS /Ï€.
.LHS /r^2.=.RHS /r^2.
Rearrange equation
Note that in this case, we were asked to solve for the height h, given the formula for the volume of a cone. A solution of h= 3VÏ€ r^2 means that we have solved for the height of the given cone.
