Height of a cylinder from volume and base area
Test your understanding of height of a cylinder from volume by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Find the height of this cylinder from it's volume and the area of its base
🎙️
The volume of any prism, including a cylinder, is just the area of its base times the length of the straight sides. In this case the straight sides are its height
🎙️
We know the volume is 30 and the area of the base is 6
🎙️
So the height is 30 divided by 6
🎙️
Which is a height of 5. You can use this approach for any prisme that you know the volume and base area.
