Answer:

4.34 inches

Explanation:

You want the diameter of a cylinder if the stroke length is 4.5 in, and 6 of them have a volume of 400 in³.

Formula

Filling the given values into the formula, we have ...

400 = π/4(d²)(4.5)(6)

d² = 400(4)/(4.5·6π) . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of d²

d = 40/(3√(3π)) ≈ 4.34 . . . . . . . take the square root

The diameter is about 4.34 inches.
