Answer:

height of cylinder = 4/3 h

Explanation:

The solid has a cylinder surmounted with a cone .Therefore, the volume of the solid is the sum of the cone and the cylinder.

volume of the solid = volume of cylinder + volume of cone

volume of the solid = πr²h + 1/3πr²h

let

height of the cylinder = H

recall

the height of the cone = 2h

volume of the solid = πr²h + 1/3πr²h

3(1/3πr²2h) = πr²H + 1/3πr²2h

2πr²h = πr²H + 2/3 πr²h

πr²(2h) = πr²(H + 2/3 h)

divide both sides by πr²

2h = H + 2/3 h

2h - 2/3h = H

H = 6h - 2h/3

H = 4/3 h

height of cylinder = 4/3 h
