A right circular cylinder has radius and contains of water. Calculate the height of the cylinder, correct to the nearest millimetre.Intuitive explanation
The volume of a cylinder is the product of its base area and height—so if you know the volume and radius, you can rearrange to solve for the missing height. This is a straightforward algebraic rearrangement: divide both sides by to isolate , then substitute the given numbers carefully, keeping track of units as you convert to millimetres.
