Finding Diameter and Circumference

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the diameter and radius of a circle when the circumference is known. It begins with an introduction to the concept of circumference and its formula, C = πd. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find the diameter by dividing the circumference by π, using a specific example. Next, it shows how to find the radius by first calculating the diameter and then dividing it by two. The video concludes with a summary of the methods discussed.
