Lesson 6 Solving for the "Height"

The most important concept of today's lesson was trying to find the height when you are given the radius and volume. The concept i think helped me the most was the fact that, we were given only certain sides of the cylinder while others were missing. We were able to find out a formula to find a missing unit of a cylinder. What i notice about the height was that was when the radius increased the height decreased and the volume stayed the same obviously.

  1. Not only you were given the volume, but you were maintaining the volume while varying the radius. "i notice" should be "I noticed"

    Also, think about this. When you doubled the radius, or quadrupled the radius, did the height decrease by a factor of 2, or by a factor of 4, respectively?
