Here is one possible answer:
It is easier to find diameter of a circle when you know its radius.. recall the radius x 2 is the diameter.
Also, it is easier to find the circumference of a circle when you know it's diameter because circumference is defined by πd where d = diameter of the circle. These are of course indirect methods for measuring.
