Radius of a cylinder from volume

This math skill teaches how to determine the radius of a cylinder given its volume and height. Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder (volume = area of base × height), you rearrange the equation to find the base area first. Then, equate the base area to the formula for the area of a circle to solve for the radius.
