SUMMARY
The equation A = 2πr(r + h) can be rearranged to isolate h as h = (A - 2πr²) / (2πr). This transformation allows for the calculation of h when the area A and radius r are known. The discussion emphasizes the importance of showing initial work when seeking help, as it encourages collaborative problem-solving and deeper understanding.
