Answer:

8.25 in.

Explanation:

In order to solve this you just have to clear the equation that Kylie created to calcuate the diameter of the circle for diameter, in this case, you just need to do the next steps:


4(d+4)=7^(2) \\4(d+4)=49\\d+4=(49)/(4) \\d+4=12.25\\d=12.25-4\\d=8.25

Now we know that the diameter of the circle is 8.25 inches.
