the V of cylinder is V=Pi r² H, si H = V/Pi x r², or r = d/2,
so H=4V/Pi x d²

Answer:
h=(4V)/(\pi d^2) meters

Explanation:

Given: A satellite launch rocket has a cylindrical fuel tank. The fuel tank can hold V cubic meters of fuel. If the tank measures d meters across.

Then radius of the cylinder =
(d)/(2)

Let h be the height of the cylindrical fuel tank.

We know that the volume of cylinder is given by :-


\text{Volume}=\pi r^2h

Now, for the volume of cylindrical tank we have :-


V=\pi ((d)/(2))^2h\\\\\Rightarrow V=\pi((d^2)/(4))h\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=(4V)/(\pi d^2)

Hence, the height of the tank =
h=(4V)/(\pi d^2) meters
