To find the height you need to take the volume, and the radius (halve the diameter to get the radius) and use the same formula that would be to find Volume and when you plug in the volume and radius you take the radius and solve it with the exponent. Then you take the solved radius and you multiply it with 3.14. After that you then divide the volume by the multiplication.
V=(3.14)(r^2)h
Example:
V=87.92m^3
pi=3.14
r=2m
h=?

87.92=(3.14(2)^2)h
87.92=(3.14(4))h
3.14*4=12.56
87.92/12.56=7
h=7m
