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

Solve V=1/3bh

for b, the base of the cone.

b = 3Vh

Step-by-step 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
