STEP 1: find base area $ AB $

To find base area $ AB $ use formula:

$$ AB = r^2 \cdot \pi $$

After substituting $r = 5\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ AB = \left( 5\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} \cdot \pi $$ $$ AB = 25\, \text{cm}^2 \cdot \pi $$

STEP 2: find lateral area $ AL $

To find lateral area $ AL $ use formula:

$$ A = 2 AB + AL $$

After substituting $A = 298.3\, \text{cm}$ and $AB = 25\pi\, \text{cm}^2$ we have:

$$ 298.3\, \text{cm} = 2 \cdot 25\pi\, \text{cm}^2 + AL $$ $$ 298.3\, \text{cm} = 50\pi\, \text{cm}^2 + AL $$ $$ AL = 298.3\, \text{cm} - 50\pi\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ AL = 141.2204\, \text{cm} $$

STEP 3: find height $ h $

To find height $ h $ use formula:

$$ AL = 2 \cdot h \cdot r \cdot \pi$$

After substituting $AL = 141.2204\, \text{cm}$ and $r = 5\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ 141.2204\, \text{cm} = 2 \cdot h \cdot \left( 5\, \text{cm} \right)^{4} \cdot \pi$$$$ 141.2204\, \text{cm} = 10\, \text{cm} \cdot h \cdot \pi $$$$ h = \dfrac{ 141.2204\, \text{cm}}{ 10\, \text{cm} \, \pi } $$$$ h \approx 4.4952 $$
