Question

How to find the diameter of a circle when given the circumference?

Answer 1

The formula for the circumference of a circle, c=πd or c=2πr, can also be used to find the diameter or radius of a circle.

Let's look at an example.

A circle has a circumference of 20.72 m. What is its diameter?

First, write down the formula.

c=πd

Next, fill in the values that you know.

20.72 m=3.14 d

Then, divide both sides of the equation by 3.14

6.6=d

The answer is the diameter is 6.6 meters.
