Answer:

The diameter is 8.3cm.

Explanation:

The circumference is the distance all the way around a circle. To find circumference, multiply pi times diameter:

C = pi • d

Fill in given circumference.

26 = pi • d

Divide both sides by pi (you should use a calculator) in this question it doesn't happen to matter if you use a pi button or 3.14 for pi.

26/3.14 = d

8.276057 = d if you use the pi button.

or,

8.28025 = d if you use 3.14

Both of these round to 8.3, since the question asked for one decimal place (1dp)

The diameter is 8.3cm.
