A rope is used to make a square, with a side length of 5 inches. The same rope is used to make a circle. What is the diameter of the circle? (HINT: find the perimeter of the square first. That will give you the length of the rope!) * diameter=20 inches diameter=6.37 inches diameter= 3.33 inches diameter= 12.62 inches
