v = 1/3 nr^2 h

find the value of h if n = 3, r = 4, v = 48

Question

v = 1/3 nr^2 h 

find the value of h if n = 3, r = 4, v = 48

anonymous · Answer

okay so the problem would look like 48=1/3 * 3 * 4^2 *h

anonymous · Answer

now just follow order of operations

anonymous · Answer

so first we do the power? 
r^2 = 16

16 x n (which is 3) = 48

This is what I am getting confused on, it equals 48, whereas V = 48 :/

@Rushwr

petiteme · Answer

$$48 = \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } * 3 * 4^{2}* h$$

petiteme · Answer

You said to do the power first, right? So, it'll be...

$$48=\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }*3*16*h$$

petiteme · Answer

Perform the operation :)

anonymous · Answer

@petiteme yes that's right, however i need to find the value of h. it's proving to be confusing

petiteme · Answer

Okay. Do it step by step. Multiply 1/3 to 3 first.

anonymous · Answer

16 x 3 = 48. 

one third of 48 = 16

petiteme · Answer

Okay that's good. So it'll be.

48 = 16h

anonymous · Answer

Are you sure? LOOL that seems so easy I feel dumb now, here's me trying to dvide it again

petiteme · Answer

Yeah lol.

petiteme · Answer

You didn't get the value of h yet

anonymous · Answer

@petiteme LOOL OH yes

petiteme · Answer

Do you know how to get it?

anonymous · Answer

no, is it 16 didivded by 3

petiteme · Answer

No. So our equation now is 48 = 16h
Divide both sides by 1/16, so that it'll be cancelled and the h remain.

Hope that makes sense huhu

anonymous · Answer
