Instead of most cases where you are given the radius to find the circle's circumference and area, you have to work backwords when given the ciircumference. If the circumference of a circle is the radius times two, the diameter, mutiplied by pi, ~3.14. 

  1. If the circles circumference 522 millimeters and you need to find the diameter then divide 522 mm by π. 
  2. This will approximately equal 166.157760588 mm or more accurately 522/π mm.
  • This works as the formula to equal the circumference of any circle is Circumference=(Radius*2)*π. Dividing by π would leave you with Circumference/π=diameter. Due to the (Radius*2) is equal to the diameter, there was no need to find the radius in this prombelm.

I hope this helped answer your question!
