The circumference of a circle is given by the formula

$C=\pi D$

Where

$\begin{gathered} \pi\text{ is a constant} \\ D\text{ is the diameter of the circle} \end{gathered}$

To get the diameter of the circle, we will compare the given circumference with the formula to find the circumference of a circle

$C=\pi D=5\pi$

So, upon comparing

$\pi D\text{ with 5}\pi$
$\begin{gathered} \pi D=5\pi \\ \\ D=5 \end{gathered}$

Hence the diameter of the circle is 5 centimeters
