well, since the equation for circumference is
2 \pi r^(2) and the diameter is double the radius, the diameter will end up being about 3.82

So,

The formula for the circumference of a circle:

C = 2 \pi r\ or\ C = \pi D (diameter)

We can now substitute the given values and solve for D.

12 \pi = \pi D

Divide both sides by pi.

12 = D

The diameter of the circle is 12 units.
