To find the diameter of a circle when the circumference is known, you can use the formula for the circumference:

\[
C = \pi d
\]

where \(C\) is the circumference and \(d\) is the diameter. Rearranging this formula to solve for the diameter gives:

\[
d = \frac{C}{\pi}
\]

Now, using the given circumference of 75.36 kilometers:

\[
d = \frac{75.36}{\pi}
\]

Using an approximate value for \(\pi\) (3.14), we can calculate:

\[
d \approx \frac{75.36}{3.14} \approx 24.0 \text{ kilometers}
\]

More accurately using \( \pi \approx 3.14159\):

\[
d \approx \frac{75.36}{3.14159} \approx 24.0 \text{ kilometers}
\]

Thus, the diameter of the circle is approximately **24.0 kilometers**.
