(b) The skill is, "Solve for any variable in a formula".


The basic formula is , from which you can solve for h or solve for r. You are given one of them, as . Question #b asks for h when V and r are given. SOLVE THE FORMULA FOR h. You need Multiplicative Inverse Property and Multiplication Property of Equality.
