A satellite launch rocket has a cylindrical fuel tank. The fuel tank can hold V cubic meters of fuel. If the tank measures d meters across, what is the height of the tank in meters?
Let the volume of the cylinder be V cubic meters, the diameter be d meters and the height be h meters. Now we can write the formula for the volume as follows: [tex]V=\pi\frac{d^{2}}{4}h[/tex] Rearranging the formula, the height becomes: [tex]\large h=\frac{4V}{\pi d^{2}}[/tex]
