When you find a diameter of a circle, you probably used this formula:
C =
\pid

If we algebraically manipulate the formula, we get it to find the diameter with a circumference.

Divide both sides by
\pi.

C /
\pi =
\pid /
\pi.

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

We know the circumference is 654 and we will use 3.14 for
\pi.

Plug in the values.

d =
(654)/(3.14)
d ≈ 208.3

So, the diameter of the circle is about 208.3 units.
