Answer:

A) 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume a random diameter to work with. I will use a diameter of 10.

Circumference = πD

Circumference = π * 10

Circumference = 31.415

Decreasing the circumference by 12%

31.415 * 0.12 = 3.769

31.415 - 3.769 = 27.64

To find out what percent the diameter is reduced by we will find out the new diameter with the new circumference

Circumference = πD

27.64 = π * D

D = 27.64 / π

New Diameter = 8.8

OldD - NewD

10 - 8.8 = 1.2

1.2/10 = 0.12

The diameter decreased by 12%

The diameter of the circle decreased by 12% due to decrease of circles circumference by 12%.

What is a circle?

A circle is a geometrical figure which becomes by plotting a point around a fixed point by keeping a constant distance.

The diameter is the longest line that can be drawn inside a circle.

Area of circle = πr² and the perimeter of circle = 2πr where r is the radius of the circle.

Let's say the diameter of the circle is D

Circumference of circle = πD

12% of Circumference = (12/100) × πD

⇒ 0.12πD

So new circumference will be

πD -  0.12πD = 0.88πD

Now let say new diameter after decreasing circumference is d

Circumference of new circle will be

πd = 0.88πD

d = 0.88D

% decrement = (change/original) × 100

diameter decrease = (D - 0.88D)/D × 100

⇒ 12% hence it will be correct answer.
