2 \pi r = circumference
so,

(circumference)/(2 \pi ) = radius

it equals 12.49 or 12.5 depending on rounding


I hope this helps!

Answer: 25 inches.

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by :-


C=\pi d, where d is the diameter.

Given : A dartboard has a circumference of 78.5 in.

Then, we have


\pi d=78.5

We put
\pi=3.14 in the above equation, we get


(3.14) d=78.5\\\\\Rightarrow\ d=(78.5)/(3.14)\\\\\Rightarrow d=25

Hence, the diameter of the dart board = 25 inches.
