The original formula for the volume of a cone is

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

O.K. You give the approximate value of pi in the formula.

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot3.14r^2h[/tex]

We have:

[tex]V=66\ cm^3,\ r=3\ cm[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex] \dfrac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot3^2h=66\\\\3.14\cdot3h=66\\\\9.42h=66\ \ \ \ |:9.42\\\\h\approx7\ cm [/tex]

Answer: 7 cm.
