The circumference (C) of a circle is 16cm. Which formula can you use to find the diameter (d) if you know that C= πd?

The formula is d=C/π.

The diameter is 2 times the radius

The formula for the circumference using the radius is 2πr.

in order to do this backwards, we would have to do 16÷2÷π, but we're not looking for the radius.

Therefore, we take out the ÷2 part, which would be 16÷π

16 is the circumference

16÷π=d

d=C÷π
