Answer:


d=(18)/(\pi )

Explanation:

We work our way backward to find the diameter.

Circumference of a Circle Formula:


C=2\pi r

r is radius , 2*radius = diameter.

Given information: C=18 cm , pi=3.14.


C=2\pi r\\18=2\pi r\\

Get r by itself.


r=18/2\pi\\r=9/\pi

r≈2.864788976

2*r=d


2*9/\pi =diameter\\d=(18)/(\pi )
