The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter.
Substituting the given circumference of 62.8 feet into the formula gives us 62.8 = 3.14d.
To find the diameter, we divide both sides of the equation by 3.14: d = 62.8 / 3.14
Calculating this gives us: d ≈ 20
Therefore, the diameter of the circle is approximately 20 feet.
