[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The figure you are describing is a circle. The fact that it has a circumference of 36 inches tells us that the distance around the circle, or its perimeter, is 36 inches. Since all sides of a circle are equal, we can conclude that the diameter of the circle is also 6 inches.
