• The diameter of a circle is two times the radius of the circle.
• If you know the area of your circle, you can determine the diameter. Divide the area of the circle by 3.14 and find the square root, which you then multiply the result by 2 to get your diameter.
• If the circumference of the circle was given, you could get your diameter from the circumference. It is calculated by dividing the circumference by 3.14
• Another method is to draw a horizontal line inside the circle, which goes from one edge of the circle to another edge of the circle.
• Label the points where the lines you’ve drawn crosses the circle as point A and point B
• Draw to circles that overlap using each labeled point as the center.
• Draw a vertical line from the two points the outer circle intersects.
• Measure the diameter with the use of a ruler.
