We can write the volume of the cylinder as the product of the area of the base and its height:

The area of the base is:

Then, we can write the first equation and clear the height as:

Replcing with the values V=180 cm^3 and r=3 cm, we get:
![h=\frac{180\operatorname{cm}^3}{\pi\cdot(3\operatorname{cm})^2}=\frac{180\operatorname{cm}^3}{\pi\cdot9\operatorname{cm}}\approx\frac{180\operatorname{cm}^3}{28.3\operatorname{cm}^2}=6.4\operatorname{cm}]()
Answer: the height is 6.4 cm.
