How do you find the height of a cylinder?

The formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is h(pi)r2, is the area of the base (pi)r2 multiplied by the height (h). If you are given the diameter instead, remember that the diameter is twice the radius.

So if we know that V = h(pi)r2, we can rearrange the formula in order to find the height.

Divide the whole equation by (pi)r2. The result is: V ÷ (pi)r2 = h OR h = V ÷ (pi)r2.

The formula h = V ÷ (pi)r2 means the height (h) is equal to the volume (V) divided by the area of the base (pi)r2.
