1. The problem states: The circumference of a circle is 21 cm. We need to find the diameter of the circle, rounded to 1 decimal place.
2. Recall the formula for the circumference of a circle:
$$C = \pi d$$
where $C$ is the circumference and $d$ is the diameter.
3. We can rearrange the formula to solve for the diameter:
$$d = \frac{C}{\pi}$$
4. Substitute the given circumference $C = 21$ cm into the formula:
$$d = \frac{21}{\pi}$$
5. Calculate the value using $\pi \approx 3.1416$:
$$d = \frac{21}{3.1416} \approx 6.685$$
6. Round the diameter to 1 decimal place:
$$d \approx 6.7 \text{ cm}$$
Therefore, the diameter of the circle is approximately 6.7 cm.
