To find the diameter of a cone, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cone:

Volume = (1/3) * pi * r^2 * h

where r is the radius of the cone's base and h is the height. We are given that the volume is 150pi m^3 and the height is 8 m.

Using the formula, we can rearrange it to solve for r:

r^2 = (3 * Volume) / (pi * h)

r^2 = (3 * 150pi) / (pi * 8)
r^2 = 450 / 8
r^2 = 56.25
r ≈ 7.5 m

The diameter is twice the radius, so the diameter of the cone is:

Diameter = 2 * r
Diameter = 2 * 7.5
Diameter = 15 m

Therefore, the diameter of the cone is 15 m.
