To find the diameter of the cylinder, we first need to find the radius of the cylinder using the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

V = πr^2h

where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

Given:
V = 29,673 in^3
h = 42 cm = 42/2.54 = 16.54 inches
π = 3.14

29,673 = 3.14r^2(16.54)
29,673 = 52.2156r^2
r^2 = 29,673 / 52.2156
r^2 = 568.25
r = √568.25
r = 23.85 inches (approximately)

Now, we can find the diameter using the formula for diameter:

d = 2r
d = 2(23.85)
d = 47.7 inches

Therefore, the diameter of the cylinder is approximately 47.7 inches.
