Circumference = 2 x Pi x Radius
2 x Pi x Radius = 14Pi
Dividing both sides with 2 x Pi
Radius = 7
Diameter = 2 x Radius = 2 x 7
Diameter = 14

circumference of a circle = pi*Diameter --->(1)
where pi= 3.14
Given circumference=14
plugging the values in equation(1)
14=pi*diameter
diameter= 14/pi
diameter= 4.45
radius= diameter/2=4.45/2= 2.22
