Here are the formulae used in calculations involving a cylinder.

For volume:

v = (pi)(r^2)(h)

For area:

s = 2(pi)(r)(h)

Indications:

v is volume

pi is taken to be 22/7 or 3.142

r is radius

h is height

With the information on measurements you already have, use either formula, insert the necessary figures and you would be able to obtain the height of a cylinder.

If you are not looking to solve a mathematical question, h is simply:

v/(pi)(r^2) or s/2(pi)(r)

Reason: Because the volume or surface area are the product of multiplication of several measurements including that of height, h, to obtain h, the volume or surface area has to be divided by all other measurements.
