The circumference of a circle is : C=Pi*d; where d=the diameter
3=3.14*d -> To find d, divide both sides by 3.14
0.96=d
Next we want to find the radius:
d=2*r
.96=2*r -> To find r, divide both sides by 2
.48=r
Since 3.14 is an appromiximation of Pi, d is approximately equal to 0.96 and r is approximately equal to 0.48
