The circumference of a circle is given by the formula


C=\pi D

Where


\begin{gathered} \pi\text{ is a constant} \\ D\text{ is the diameter of the circle} \end{gathered}

To get the diameter of the circle, we will compare the given circumference with the formula to find the circumference of a circle


C=\pi D=5\pi

So, upon comparing


\pi D\text{ with 5}\pi
\begin{gathered} \pi D=5\pi \\ \\ D=5 \end{gathered}

Hence the diameter of the circle is 5 centimeters
