    The formula in solving the lateral surface area of a cylinder is SA=2*pi*r*h. Since we have the value of the surface area, we can solve for the height if obtained first the value of radius or it is given in the problem.

    Assuming radius is 2 inches, we can solve for height such as shown below:

    SA=2*pi*r*h

    SA=2*3.14*2*h

    h=60/4*3.14

    h=4.78 inches
