The circumference of a circle is 5 pi centimeters. What is the diameter?

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula
[tex]C=\pi D[/tex]Where
[tex]\begin{gathered} \pi\text{ is a constant} \\ D\text{ is the diameter of the circle} \end{gathered}[/tex]To get the diameter of the circle, we will compare the given circumference with the formula to find the circumference of a circle
[tex]C=\pi D=5\pi[/tex]So, upon comparing
[tex]\pi D\text{ with 5}\pi[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \pi D=5\pi \\ \\ D=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the diameter of the circle is 5 centimeters
