The diameter of a circle is the twic of the radius.


\text{Radius}=(Diameter)/(2)

The given diameter = 16mm

So, Radius = 16mm/2

Radius = 8mm

Circumference of the circle is express as :


\text{ Circumference = 2}\Pi r

Substitute the values and simplify


\begin{gathered} \text{ Circumference = 2}\Pi r \\ \text{ Circumference=2(3.14)(8)} \\ \text{ Circumference=}50.24\text{ mm} \end{gathered}

The circumference = 50.24mm

Answer: 50.24mm
