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

\[
C = \pi d
\]

Where:
- \(C\) is the circumference,
- \(d\) is the diameter,
- \(\pi\) is approximately 3.1416.

Given that the circumference \(C = 27\) cm, we can solve for \(d\) as follows:

\[
d = \frac{C}{\pi} = \frac{27}{3.1416} \approx 8.6 \, \text{cm}
\]

Thus, the diameter of the circle is approximately **8.6 cm** to 1 decimal place.

2. What is the formula to find the area of a circle using the diameter?
3. If the circumference were 30 cm, what would the diameter be?
4. How does the value of \(\pi\) affect the diameter calculation?
5. Can the circumference of a circle be a negative value?

**Tip**: Always remember that the diameter is twice the radius, so you can also calculate it if the radius is given!
