The formula V = πr2h gives the volume of a cylinder with radius r and height h. Solve the formula for r. Show your work.

Respuesta :

V= pi Times r squared times h
First divide both sides by pi and h
V / pi h = r squared
Square root both sides.

The square root of v /pi times h = r

Answer:

[tex]r = \sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the volume is:

[tex]V = \pi r^{2} h[/tex]

Where r is the radius and h the height of the cylinder.

We need to isolate r. First step is to move pi and h, they can go to the other side dividing.

[tex]V = \pi r^{2} h\\ \pi r^{2} h = V\\ \pi r^{2} =\frac{V}{h}\\r^{2} =\frac{V}{\pi h}[/tex]

Second step, as radius is with an exponent of two, we can use square root.

[tex]r^{2} =\frac{V}{\pi h}\\\sqrt{r^{2}}  = \sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h}}[/tex]

Finally, we can isolate radius - r

[tex]r = \sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h}}[/tex]
