To find the height of a cylinder, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

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

where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( r \) is the radius, and
- \( h \) is the height.

Given:
- Volume \( V = 602.9 \, \text{cm}^3 \)
- Radius \( r = 8 \, \text{cm} \)
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

First, substitute the values into the formula:

\[
602.9 = 3.14 \times (8^2) \times h
\]

Calculating \( 8^2 \):

\[
8^2 = 64
\]

Now, substitute this back in:

\[
602.9 = 3.14 \times 64 \times h
\]

Calculating \( 3.14 \times 64 \):

\[
3.14 \times 64 = 200.96
\]

Now, we have:

\[
602.9 = 200.96 \times h
\]

To find \( h \), divide both sides by 200.96:

\[
h = \frac{602.9}{200.96} \approx 2.995
\]

Rounding to a reasonable number gives us \( h \approx 3 \, \text{cm} \).

Thus, the height of the cylinder is approximately **3 cm**.
