Which of the following equations is equivalent to [tex]S=\pi r^2 h[/tex]?

A. [tex]h = S - \pi r^2[/tex]
B. [tex]h = \frac{S}{\pi r^2}[/tex]
C. [tex]h = \frac{\pi \pi^2}{S}[/tex]
D. [tex]h = S + \pi t^2[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which of the following equations is equivalent to [tex]\( S = \pi r^2 h \)[/tex], we need to isolate [tex]\( h \)[/tex] on one side of the equation.

Given equation:
[tex]\[ S = \pi r^2 h \][/tex]

We want to solve for [tex]\( h \)[/tex]. Here are the steps:

1. Divide both sides by [tex]\( \pi r^2 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{S}{\pi r^2} = \frac{\pi r^2 h}{\pi r^2} \][/tex]

2. Simplify the right-hand side:
[tex]\[ \frac{S}{\pi r^2} = h \][/tex]

Thus, the equation simplifies to:
[tex]\[ h = \frac{S}{\pi r^2} \][/tex]

Now we need to match this equation to one of the given options:

- Option 1: [tex]\( h = S - \pi r^2 \)[/tex]
- This is not correct because the term involving [tex]\(\pi r^2\)[/tex] is subtracted, not divided.

- Option 2: [tex]\( h = \frac{S}{\pi r^2} \)[/tex]
- This matches our derived equation.

- Option 3: [tex]\( h = \frac{\pi \pi^2}{S} \)[/tex]
- This does not match our derived equation and is incorrect.

- Option 4: [tex]\( h = S + \pi t^2 \)[/tex]
- This introduces an incorrect variable [tex]\( t \)[/tex] and is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct equivalent equation is:
[tex]\[ h = \frac{S}{\pi r^2} \][/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is [tex]\( \boxed{2} \)[/tex].
