The diameter of a circle is twice the length of its radius. In this case, the radius of the igloo's circular floor is 2 yards. Therefore, the diameter can be calculated as:

Diameter = 2 * Radius

Diameter = 2 * 2 yards

Diameter = 4 yards

So, the floor's diameter is 4 yards.

Diameter

When we're given the radius, and asked to find the diameter, we use a simple formula, which is:


\boldsymbol{\sf{Diameter=radius*2}}

Since we know the radius, we substitute it into the formula:


\boldsymbol{\sf{Diameter=2*2}}


\boldsymbol{\sf{Diameter=4\;yards}}

Therefore, the diameter is 4 yards.

------------- Additional formulas -----------


\sf{radius=\cfrac{diameter}{2}}


\sf{Circumference=\pi d}


\sf{Circumference=2\pi r}


\sf{Area=\pi r^2}
