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

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

Where:

  • \( C \) is the circumference,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14,
  • \( d \) is the diameter.

Given that the circumference \( C \) is 574 meters, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the diameter \( d \):

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

Now, substituting the known values:

\[ d = \frac{574}{3.14} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ d \approx 183.1 , \text{meters} \]

So the diameter of the circle, rounded to the nearest tenth, is approximately 183.1 meters.
