You can put this solution on YOUR website!
V=pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah
V=6.3 and diameter =1.2 meters. Radius = 1/2 diameter = .6 meters.
6.3+=+pi%2A.6%5E2+%2Ah Solve for h. Divide both sides by pi%2A.6%5E2=1.13
6.3%2F%28pi%2A.6%5E2%29=h
6.3%2F1.13=h
h=5.57+ meters.

I have some good sections on Perimeter, Area, and Volume on my own website with FREE non-traditional explanations. Do a "Bing" or "Google" search for my last name "Rapalje". Near the top of the search list, find "Rapalje Homepage", and near the bottom of the Homepage, look for the link "Topics from Geometry." Choose "Perimeters, Area and Volume." My own students ALL thought my explanations were a LOT easier than the traditional explanations.
