Cylinder Diameter from Volume and Height
Find the diameter of a circular cylinder from volume and perpendicular height.
Formula
d=2√(V/(πh)); r=d/2.
Volume: 1 L · Perpendicular height: 10 cm · Radius ≈ 100×sqrt((1 L)÷1000÷(pi×(10 cm × 0.01 m/cm))) · Diameter ≈ 2×(5.641895835)
How to use
- Enter the known measurements.
- Select their units.
- Read the calculated result.
Examples
- Volume 12π cm³ and height 3 cm give diameter 4 cm.
Frequently asked questions
Which height is used?
Use the perpendicular distance between the circular bases.
Does it work for an oblique cylinder?
Yes, if the bases are circular and h is perpendicular height.
Is the cylinder hollow?
No. These inputs describe the full enclosed circular volume.
