Answer

diameter = 4

Work Step by Step

The volume formula for a cylinder is $\pi r^2 h$. We know: total volume = $40\pi$ height = $10$ So, we have a formula that looks like this: $\pi r^2 * 10 = 40\pi$ divide by pi on both sides: $r^2*10 = 40$ divide by 10 on both sides: $r^2 = 4$ and get the square root on each side: $r = 2$ We need the diameter however, and d = 2*r: so $d = 2*2$ $d = 4$
