The volume of a right circular cone is V+=+%28pi%2F3%29r%5E2h. Cross-multiply 3, pi, and r%5E2 to get h+=+%283V%29%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29.

The volume of a right circular cone is calculated using the following formula: V = 1/3πr^2h.


We need to solve for h. To solve for a variable means to isolate the variable.


V = 1/3πr^2h

We first multiply both sides by 3.


After doing so, we get: 3V = πr^2h.

We now divide both sides by πr^2 to solve for h.


3V/πr^2 = h


Done!
