You need to know how to use the formulas for a circle. The one we care about is the formula for the perimeter:
...
Let P = perimeter of the circle
Let r = the radius of the circle
Let d = the diameter of the circle, where d = 2r
...
P = 2 pi * r or pi * d
P = 200
...
200 = pi * d
d = 200/pi
...
d = ~63.67 feet
