CALCULATOR
Right Circular Diameter of a Cone Calculator
Find diameter from volume and perpendicular height. Example: Volume: 12 m³, Perpendicular height: 2 m gives 4.78730736482 m. Right circular shape only; output explicitly diameter. Flat Euclidean shape; stated measurements in displayed units. No waste, thickness, structural suitability or curved-earth claim. Floating point rounding is display only.
Right circular shape only; output explicitly diameter. Flat Euclidean shape; stated measurements in displayed units. No waste, thickness, structural suitability or curved-earth claim. Floating point rounding is display only. Derivation: Invert right circular volume and take positive square root.
Accepted inputs: Volume: 0.001 to 100,000,000 m³; Perpendicular height: 0.001 to 1,000 m.
How the calculation works
result = 2 √(3V/(πh))
Worked example
With volume 12 m³, perpendicular height 2 m, diameter from volume and perpendicular height is 4.787307365 m. Recover the radius from volume and perpendicular height, then diameter = 2 × radius.
Assumptions and limits
