ANSWER

Radius = 3 yd

Diameter = 6 yd

Step-by-step explanation

We are given the circle in the figure.

The radius of a circle is defined as the distance between the centre of a circle and its circumference.

Therefore, from the circle given, the radius is 3 yards

The diameter of a circle is defined as the total distance (through the centre) from one end of a circle to another.

It is twice the radius. Therefore, the diameter of the given circle is:

D = 3 * 2

D = 6 yards

The diameter is 6 yards.
