Answer:

Therefore the Parachute's diameter is 0.8 yards.

Explanation:

Given:

Circumference of Parachute C,

C = 2.512 yards

pi = 3.14 ( consider )

To Find:

Diameter = d = ?

Solution:

Circumference Formula is given as,

$Circumference = \pi* Diameter$

Substituting the values we get

$C=\pi* d\\2.512=3.14* d\\d=(2.512)/(3.14)=0.8\ yards$

Therefore the Parachute's diameter is 0.8 yards.
