How do I find diameter of a cylinder? The formula for diameter of a cylinder

To find the diameter of a cylinder, you can utilize the following formula:

d= 2×\sqrt \frac {V}{πh},

where:

$d$ is the diameter of a cylinder;
$V$ is the volume of a cylinder; and
$h$ is the height of a cylinder.

For instance, if the volume of a cylinder is 60 cm³ and the height is 8 cm, the diameter of the cylinder in centimeters would be:

d= 2×\sqrt \frac {60}{π8} = 3.09

Looks cumbersome? Don't worry; the diameter of a cylinder calculator will do all the computations for you!
