An experienced ice skater spins on the ice, creating a perfect circle with a diameter of 2 meters. What is the circle's circumference?

1. ### Break Down the Problem

To find the circumference of a circle, we need to identify its radius and then use the formula for circumference.

2. ### Relevant Concepts

The formula for the circumference $C$ of a circle is given by:

$C = \pi \times d$

where $d$ is the diameter of the circle. Alternatively, we can express it in terms of the radius $r$:

$C = 2 \pi r$

3. ### Analysis and Detail

Given that the diameter of the circle is 2 meters, we can find the radius:

$r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{2 \text{ m}}{2} = 1 \text{ m}$

Now we can use the formula for circumference using either diameter or radius.

Using the diameter:

$C = \pi \times 2 \text{ m} = 2\pi \text{ m}$

4. ### Verify and Summarize

Thus, the circumference $C$ can also be calculated using the radius:

$C = 2 \pi \times 1 \text{ m} = 2\pi \text{ m}$

Both methods yield the same result.

Final Answer

The circumference of the circle is:

$C \approx 6.28 \text{ meters}$

(using $\pi \approx 3.14$).
