Best Answer

A circle has an infinite number if diameters, but they are all the same length. The length of the diameter of a circle is the length of the longest straight line that can be drawn completely inside the circle. If the center of the circle is marked, then it's easy to draw a line that is a diameter ... it's any line that passes through the center of the circle.

First we have to find the radius because the diameter is twice the radius: 4/3*pi*radius3 = 28 radius = 1.883749459 (worked out by making the radius the subject of the formula) diameter = 3.767498918 or 3.77 inches to 2 d.p.
