#C=2picm#

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by

#C=2pir# where #r# is the circle's radius.

Recall that diameter is twice the radius, or, #d=2r#. This shows up in the above circumference formula.

So, we can rewrite the circumference formula as

#C=pid#

Given #d=2cm#,

#C=2picm#
