Answer:

The diameter of the circle is 5.6 cm

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the circumferenc formula of a circle and clear d:

c = circumference = 27cm

d = diameter

π = 3.14

c = π * d

d = c / π

we replace with the known values

d = 27cm / 3.14

d = 5.599

The diameter of the circle is 5.599 cm

round to the nearest tenth

d = 5.599 cm = 5.6 cm

The diameter of the circle is 5.6 cm
