Question

A circle has a circumference of 11,304. What is the diameter of the circle?

Answer 1

3,598.17

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be found using

c=
`\pi d`

We know the circumference is 11,304 so we can substitute that in

11,304=
`\pi d`

Divide both sides by pi to isolate the variable (d)

d=3598.17495342

The diameter is about 3,598.17

Answer 2

The measure of the diameter equals
`d=3598.17`.

Explanation:

• No matter what is the measure of the circumference, the relationship between the circumference and the diameter (which is the segment between any two oposite points of the circumference), is
  `\pi`, which is a famous number
  `\pi=3.14159265`.
• Then,
  `diameter*{\pi}=circumference`.
• In this case diameter=
  `(11,304)/(\pi)=3,598.17`.
