Formula for the height of a cone

Hello there!

To start, you must first know any kind of formula involving the height and other dimensions of the cone (i.e the radius). To solve for the height, I will be using the volume formula of a cone to solve for its height, which is represented by the variable of h.

The volume formula:
V=1/3
\pir^2h

To solve for h, or in other words, isolate h, the first thing I would suggest you do is to multiply by 3 to get rid of the fraction, 1/3. This would result in:

3V=
\pir^2h

Then, divide
\pir^2 from both sides to isolate h. This will then result in your answer, the formula to find the height of a cone is:

h= 3V/
\pir^2
