How To Calculate Diameter?

If you know the radius: diameter = 2 × radius

If you know the circumference: diameter = circumference ÷ π

If you know the area: diameter = 2 × √(area ÷ π)

If you know the chord and sagitta: diameter = (chord² ÷ (8 × sagitta)) + (sagitta ÷ 2)

If you know the circle’s equation in standard form: diameter = 2 × √(radius²)

If you know the sphere’s volume: diameter = 2 × ∛((3 × volume) ÷ (4 × π))

If you know the sphere’s surface area: diameter = √(surface area ÷ π) × 2

If you know the rectangle’s diagonal and one side for a circle-like cross section: use the given dimensions to solve for the circle’s diameter

Use π ≈ 3.14159 when needed
