You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you know the area of the base, then you can find the height.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is because\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Volume = (Area of Base)*(Height)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = B*h\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where B = area of base, h = height\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for h to get\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"h+=+V%2FB\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So if you know what B is, then you can plug in V = 200 and the value of B, then evaluate to get your answer. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
