The radius of the circle is 1 kilometer.

How did we get the value?

The circumference (C) of a circle is related to its radius (r) by the formula:


\[ C = 2 \pi r \]

In the given question, the circumference is given as
\(2\pi\) kilometers. So, we can set up the equation as follows:


\[ 2\pi = 2 \pi r \]

To find the radius (r), you can cancel out the common factor of
\(2\pi\) on both sides of the equation:

r = C/2π

r = 2π/2π


\[ r = 1 \, \text{kilometer} \]

So, the radius of the circle is 1 kilometer.
