1. The question asks us to find a possible combination of the diameter and volume divided by \(\pi\) for a certain cylinder.

2. To do this, we need to connect these two values. The formula for volume in a cylinder is \(V = \pi * r^2 * h\).

3. Using the knowledge that the cylinder has an equal radius and height, \(V = \pi * r^2 * h = \pi * r^3 \rightarrow W * \pi = \pi * (\frac{D}{2})^3 \rightarrow W = \frac{D^3}{8}\).

4. Let's calculate W assuming D is one of the answer choices:

- D = 3. \(W = \frac{3^3}{8} = 3.375\), which doesn't work.
- D = 6. \(W = \frac{6^3}{8} = 27\), which works.
- D = 9. \(W = \frac{9^3}{8} = 91.125\), which doesn't work.
- D = 18, 27, and 36. These won't work since W will be too big to be one of the answer choices.

5. Our answer will be: D - 6 and W - 27.
