How to find the height of a cylinder if the area of the base and the area of the axial section of the cylinder are known?

The axial section of a cylinder is a rectangle with a base equal to the diameter of the circle at its base, and the height is equal to the desired height of the cylinder.

Ssech = D * h = 2 * R * h, then:

h = Ssection / (2 * R). (1).

The base area of a cylinder is the area of a circle.

Sop = π * R ^ 2.

R2 = Sbas / π.

R = √ (Sb / π).

Substitute in equation 1.

h = Ssection / (2 * √ (Ssn / π)).

Answer: The height of the cylinder is equal to Ssection / (2 * √ (Sb / π)).
