Transcript text: Solve for $h$.
\[
V=\frac{1}{3} b h
\]
CHECK ANSWER
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve for \( h \) in the equation \( V = \frac{1}{3} b h \), we need to isolate \( h \). This can be done by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 and then dividing by \( b \).
Step 1: Understand the Given Equation
We are given the equation for the volume of a pyramid:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} b h
\]
where \( V \) is the volume, \( b \) is the base area, and \( h \) is the height. We need to solve for \( h \).
Step 2: Isolate the Variable \( h \)
To solve for \( h \), we first multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
\[
3V = b h
\]
Next, divide both sides by \( b \) to isolate \( h \):
\[
h = \frac{3V}{b}
\]
Step 3: Substitute the Given Values
Substitute the given values \( V = 9 \) and \( b = 3 \) into the equation:
\[
h = \frac{3 \times 9}{3}
\]
Step 4: Calculate the Value of \( h \)
Perform the calculation:
\[
h = \frac{27}{3} = 9.0
\]
