hello

to solve this problem, we simply need to use the formula of circumference of a circle


C=2\pi r

now, let's write down our data in the question


\begin{gathered} c=\text{ ?} \\ d=8.2\operatorname{cm} \\ \pi=3.14 \end{gathered}

in this question, we are given the value of diameter and not radius, so we have to find the radius from the diameter.

the relationship between diameter and radius is


r=(d)/(2)

now, let's find the radius of the circle


\begin{gathered} r=(8.2)/(2) \\ r=4.1\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

now, we an proceed to solve for the circumference


\begin{gathered} c=2\pi r \\ c=2*3.14*4.1 \\ c=25.748\approx25.75\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

from the calculations above, the circumference of the circle is 25.75cm
