Using the formula:

Volume=pi*(r^2)*height

so r=sqrt(volume/(pi*height))

and 2r=diamteter.

so d=2*sqrt(volume/(pi*height))

d=2*sqrt(3/3.14159...*25)

plug the numbers in you get diameter.

Could you not change the subject of the formula?

V=Pi*R*R*H

R*R=......

d=2*sqrt(3/3.14159...*0.25) since 25cm=0.25m

what this dude said bbn) oh and good luck

Not really.

Just rearranging a simple mathematical equation. Nothing more than something you'd do in GCSE Maths.

The derivation of the formula for volume is a lot more difficult as you need to use calculus.
