Well you first need to know that the formula for volume of a cylinder is pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah
Now we plug in what we know. We know the diameter is 12 so the radius must be 6. We can add this information into the formula:
1130.4=pi%2A6%5E2%2Ah
Now all we have to do is solve for h!

1130.4=36pi%2Ah
Now divide both sides by 36pi

This gives you 9.9943=h
So the height is 10!
