The circumference (C) of a circle is 16 cm.
Circumference C = 

The approximate value of 
 is 3.14
 is 3.14
Given C = 16
We plug in 16 for C and 3.14 for 
 in the formula C =
 in the formula C = 
 . then solve for d
 . then solve for d
 C = 

16 = 3.14 * d
'd' is multiplied with 3.14. To get 'd' alone we divide by 3.14 from both sides

5.09554 = d
So diameter of the circle = 5.1 cm
