Question

The formula for the volume of a cone is V=1/3bh

Solve V=1/3bh
for b, the base of the cone.

Answer 1

b = 3Vh

Explanation:

When they ask to solve for b, you are essentially rearranging the equation so that b is alone on one side.

V = 1/3bh

(V)(3) = (1/3bh)(3)

3V = bh

(3V)/h = (bh)/h

3Vh = b

b = 3Vh
