Answer:

d = 80

Explanation:

The equation for circumference is 2 × pi × r.

Therefore, we can write the equation 2 × pi × r = 251.2

Divide by 2 on both sides. pi × r = 125.6

Since we are using 3.14 for pi, divide both sides by 3.14. r = 40.

We are finding the diameter, which is double the radius. 2r = d. 2(40) = 80.

Answer:

80 yards

Explanation:

c = πd

251.2 = 3.14d
