\"v=%281%2F3%29%28baseArea%29%28height%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "More briefly, \"v=%281%2F3%29s%5E2%2Ah\", using s as the side length of the square base, and h as the height.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for h.
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=3v%2F%28s%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the given values and compute h.\r
