Well, let's use the formula for a cyinder to solve this.

 

V=πr2h     
   
 
Put in the Volume (V) in cm, because 1 mL = 1 cm
 
 
570.24π=πr2h
 
570.24ππ=πr2hπ
 
570.24=r2h
 
Put in the radius:
 
570.24=3.62h
 
570.24=12.96h
 
570.2412.96=12.96h12.96
 
570.2412.96=h
 
44=h
 
so:
 
h=44
 
The height of the cylinder is 44 cm.
