Answer:

True, the diameter=2in and the circumference=6.28

Explanation:

The circumference, C, of a circle is found by the following equation: C = 2 x pi x r where r equals the radius of the circle (or half its diameter) and pi = 3.14159 (a constant).

Thus, 6.28 = 2 x pi x r

Solving for r: 6.28/(2 x pi) = r

or: 6.28/(2 x 3.14) = 6.28/6.28 = r

thus r = 1 and since the diameter equals 2 x r, the diameter is 2.
