The diameter is
Explanation:
The coke can is a cylinder. In the question the volume and the height is given, and we have to calculate the diameter.
If we look at the volume formula we see:
#V=pir^2h#
If we transform it, we can calculate the radoius as:
#r=sqrt(V/(pi*h))#
So the diameter is:
#d=2*sqrt(V/(pi*h))#
If we substitute the given data we get:
