Equation for height of a cylinder?

The equation you need depends on what else you know about the cylinder.

Here's the general formula for the area of a cylinder: Area = 2 (pi) R H

Here's the general formula for the volume of a cylinder: Volume = (pi) R2 H

In both formulas, R is the radius of the circular end, and H is the height (or length)

of the cylinder.

If somebody wants you to find the height of a cylinder, and they don't give you

any information about the cylinder, then the only way to find the height is with

a ruler or a tape-measure.

If you have to find the height of the cylinder and you can't measure it, then they

must tell you the radius of the cylinder, and either the area or else the volume.

Without those figures, you have no way to calculate the height.

If they give you radius and area, then you remember [ Area = 2 (pi) R H ],

and you realize that

H = Area/2 pi R

If they give you radius and volume, then you remember that [ Volume = (pi) R2 H ],

and you realize that

H = Volume/pi R2

How do you find the height of a cylinder if the you have the diameter and volume?

By inserting the data you know into the formula for the volume of a cylinder, and solving the resulting equation for the quantity you don't know - in this case, for the height. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is: volume = pi x radius2 x length. The radius is half the diameter.

How do you prove that a cone will fit into a cylinder exactlly 3 times?

If you look at the formulas for volume of a cone and volume of a cylinder you can see that a cone will fit in exactly three times if the height and radius of the cone and cylinder are equivalent. A cone has the equation: (1/3)*pi*(r^2)*h=Volume. And a cylinder has the equation: pi*(r^2)*h=Volume. With h equaling height and r equaling radius, you can see that 3*(Volume of a cone)=Volume of a cylinder. Therefore, the cone would fit in three times if height and radius are equivalent for the two figures.
