-----------------------
V = (pi)dh
1000 = (pi)d*1.5
d = 212.20... m

A cylindrical water tank holds 1000 L of water. Determine it's diameter if it's 1.5 m tall.
----------
The volume of a cylinder is V+=+PI%2Ar%5E2%2Ah
1000 liters = 1 cubic meter (you have to know that)
-------------------
So PI%2Ar%5E2%2A1.5+=+1
r%5E2+=+1%2F%281.5%2API%29
r+=+sqrt%281%2F%281.5%2API%29%29
r = 0.46066 meters
r = 460.66 millimeters
------------------
PS it's = it is. Determine its diameter, not it's.
