To find the length of the circumference we would use C = Pi times Diameter, so if we want to find the diameter instead of the circumference we just need to rearrange the formula: D = circumference divided by Pi
1. move the diameter over the = sign and divide by the circumference
So for your example:
D = C divided Pi
D = 4 divided by Pi ( if you can't use a calculator use 3.14)
D = 1.27323....
D = 1.3 to one decimal place
