Answer:

Diameter =
(T)/(\pi) units

Explanation:

There are 2 formulas that we have for circumference of a circle, shown below.


  1. C=2\pi r

  2. C=\pi d

This comes from the fact that twice radius (r) is equal to diameter (d).

Since the question asks for diameter given circumference, we will use #2 formula from above because it relates circumference and diameter.

C = T [given]

d = ???

Let's find by substituting in formula:


C=\pi d\\T = \pi d\\d=(T)/(\pi)

Hence the diameter is
(T)/(\pi) units
