Answer:

h = 20 m

Explanation:

So you know volume of a cylinder = π*(r^2) * h

and you also know volume of this cylinder = 180π

(volume is also in meters^3)

you can set these volumes equal to one another

180π = π*(r^2) * h

by dividing by π you get this:

180 = (r^2) * h

you need h so you can divide by r^2 to get this

h = 180 / (r^2)

now you just need to plug in the radius you are given which was 3 meters

h = 180 m^3 / (3 m^2)

h = 180 m^ 3 / 9 m^2

h = 20 m
