Q. The following formula gives the surface area S of a right cylinder, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height:S=2πr(r+h)Rearrange the formula to highlight the height.h=□
Divide by 2πr: The formula for the surface area of a right cylinder is given by S=2πr(r+h). To isolate h, we first need to divide both sides of the equation by 2πr.
Cancel out 2πr: Dividing both sides by 2πr gives us 2πrS=2πr2πr(r+h). The 2πr on the right side cancels out, leaving us with 2πrS=r+h.
Subtract r: Next, we subtract r from both sides to isolate h. This gives us (2πrS)−r=h.
Isolate h: The equation with h isolated is h=2πrS−r. This is the rearranged formula highlighting the height h.
