Answer:

h = (S - 2πr^2) / (2πr)

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation, you would isolate h:

Steps:

1. S = 2πr^2 + 2πrh

2. S - 2πr^2 = 2πrh

3. (S - 2πr^2) / (2πr) = h

Reasons:

1. This is the given equation

2. 2πr^2 was subtracted from both sides of the equation (so that the term that contained h would be isolated)

3. Both sides of the equation were divided by 2πr (in order to isolate h)
