To work out circumference you use:

2 \pi r

Do get diameter from the circumference, you divide the circumference by pi:

36 / 3.14 = 11.5, or rounded to 12.

So the answer is 12 yards.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

11 yards

Option 3 is correct.

Explanation:

The circumference of a circular roller skating rink is 36 yards.

Formula:


C=\pi d

where, C is circumference and d is diameter.


\pi=3.14

C=36

d=?


36=3.14* d


d=(36)/(3.14)\approx 11.46


d=11\text{ yards}

Hence, The diameter of circular track is 11 yards
