Answer:
6 cm
Explanation:
A diameter of a circle is a line segment that connects one side of the circle to the other, passing through the center.
The distance from the center to any point on the circle is the radius. So, a diameter is the sum of a radius to one side of the circle and a radius to the other side of the circle. (The circle center is the midpoint of the diamter.)
The diameter is twice the radius:
d = 2 × (3 cm) = 6 cm
The dial's diameter is 6 cm.
