Solving Literal Volume Equation
In this math video lesson, the teacher shows how to solve a literal equation using the formula for volume. The equation given is V equals pi r squared times h, and the objective is to solve for h. The teacher explains how to decipher what is happening to the variable and shows how to undo the multiplication by dividing both numbers at the same time. The final answer is H equals b over pi r squared.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
