The formula is used to find the diameter of circle is: [tex]d = \frac{C}{3.14}[/tex]
The diameter of circle is 5.1 cm
Solution:
Given that,
Circumference (C) of a circle is 16 cm
The formula for circumference of circle when diameter is given is:
[tex]C = \pi d\\\\\pi \text{ is a constant equal to 3.14}\\\\C = 3.14d[/tex]
Rearrange the formula to get "d"
Divide both sides by 3.14
[tex]d = \frac{C}{3.14}[/tex]
The above formula is used to find the diameter of circle
Given that, circumeference = C = 16 cm
Substituting we get,
[tex]d = \frac{16}{3.14}\\\\d = 5.095 \approx 5.1[/tex]
Thus diameter of circle is 5.1 cm
