Question

solve: pie r^(2)h for h

Answer 1

I need to double check: where is the h? On the 'ground' with r, or in the exponent with 2?

Answer 2

on the ground, r is being squared

Answer 3

Awesome.

so to make it look nicer, we'll write it as: pi*h*r^2

Answer 4

okay that looks better

Answer 5

Actually, come to think of it, we need to know something... did they say the equation = 0? Because we can't solve it without an equal sign.

Answer 6

no its v=pi*h*r^2 for h?

Answer 7

Ah, ok. We've gotta have that v to solve this. :P

Answer 8

What we want to do is try to get the h by itself. So how do you get pi to go away?

Answer 9

I must go in a couple of minutes, so lemme know soon!

Answer 10

divide both sides?

Answer 11

by pi?

Answer 12

Yup! So what do we get?

Answer 13

v/pi= r^2*h

Answer 14

perfect! Now what else is 'bothering' our h?

Answer 15

the r^2

Answer 16

And how do we make the r^2 go to the other side?

Answer 17

square root?or divide?

Answer 18

what kinda math is this?

Answer 19

divide, same as the pi

Answer 20

@arboring:
Looks like physics and algebra.

Answer 21

so the answer is v/pi*r^2=h?

Answer 22

That's right!

Answer 23

thanks

Answer 24

No prob.
