Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the circumference of a circle.

The formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle is \( C = \pi d \), where \( d \) is the diameter and \( \pi \) is approximately \( 3.14 \).

Step2: Solve for the diameter \( d \).

We can rearrange the formula to solve for \( d \): \( d=\frac{C}{\pi} \).
We know that \( C = 87.92 \) cm and we'll use \( \pi\approx3.14 \).
Substitute the values into the formula: \( d=\frac{87.92}{3.14} \).

Step3: Perform the division.

Calculate \( \frac{87.92}{3.14} \). When we divide \( 87.92 \) by \( 3.14 \), we get \( 28 \). Since \( 28 \) is already a whole number, when rounded to the nearest hundredth, it remains \( 28.00 \).

Answer:

28.00
