1. **State the problem:** We are given the circumference of a circle as 11.304 inches and need to find the circle's diameter and radius.
2. **Formula used:** The circumference $C$ of a circle is related to its diameter $d$ and radius $r$ by the formulas:
$$C = \pi d$$
and
$$d = 2r$$
where $\pi$ is approximately 3.14.
3. **Find the diameter:** Using $C = \pi d$, solve for $d$:
$$d = \frac{C}{\pi}$$
Substitute $C = 11.304$ and $\pi = 3.14$:
$$d = \frac{11.304}{3.14}$$
Show cancellation step:
$$d = \frac{\cancel{11.304}}{\cancel{3.14}} = 3.6$$
So, the diameter is 3.6 inches.
4. **Find the radius:** Since $d = 2r$, solve for $r$:
$$r = \frac{d}{2}$$
Substitute $d = 3.6$:
$$r = \frac{3.6}{2}$$
Show cancellation step:
$$r = \frac{\cancel{3.6}}{\cancel{2}} = 1.8$$
So, the radius is 1.8 inches.
**Final answers:**
Radius = 1.8 in
Diameter = 3.6 in
