Create a variable named "circumference" and assign the correct value to it by using the "diameter" variable and Math.PI.

The answer is

 var circumference = 2 * Math.PI * (diameter / 2);

Because the formula for circumference is 2 * PI * Radius; so you must divide the diameter by 2 to get the correct R value.
