I need help to know how to solve this math problem.

If the formula for the volume of a cone is V=1/3 pie r squared h. The radius r of the cone may be expressed as....

V  =  (1/3)·π·r²·h                     First, multiply both sides by 3:

3V  =  π·r²·h                            Now, divide by π·h 

3V / (π·h)  =  r²                       Finally, take the square root of both sides:

±√[ 3V / (π·h) ]  =  r²              If you are in algebra, you need the ±; if you are in geometry, you probably                                                      don't (usaully, you don't have negative radii).
