---------
Vol = pi*r^2*h ----- Use ^ (Shift 6) for exponents.
pi*4^2*h = 120
Solve for h

Yes, if the volume of a right cylinder is
V+=+%28pi%29%2Ar%5E2%2Ah and we have to find the height h, we solve for it first...
h+=+V+%2F+%28%28pi%29%2Ar%5E2%29 =
h+=+120+%2F+%283.14%29%284%5E2%29 =
h = 2.39 inches
