To find the height \( h \) of the cylinder using the volume formula, we can start with the given formula for the volume \( V \) of a cylinder:

\[ V = \pi r^2 \cdot h \]

You provided the values:

  • \( V = 360\pi \)
  • \( r = 6 \)

First, we will substitute the known value of \( r \) into the volume formula.

  1. Calculate the area of the base using the radius:

\[ r = 6 \implies r^2 = 6^2 = 36 \]

  1. Substitute \( r^2 \) into the volume formula:

\[ V = \pi \cdot 36 \cdot h \]

This simplifies to:

\[ V = 36\pi h \]

  1. Now set this equal to the provided volume:

\[ 360\pi = 36\pi h \]

  1. To solve for \( h \), divide both sides by \( 36\pi \):

\[ h = \frac{360\pi}{36\pi} \]

The \( \pi \) cancels out:

\[ h = \frac{360}{36} \]

  1. Now simplify \( \frac{360}{36} \):

\[ h = 10 \]

Therefore, the height \( h \) of the cylinder is:

\[ \boxed{10} \]
