Hint: The diameter of a circle is double the radius of a circle. So, diameter can be written as 2r. Similarly, we know that the perimeter of a circle is given as 2πr. It is given that the difference between perimeter and diameter is 135cm, we get 2πr2r=135cm. Solve the above equation to get the value of r.

Complete step-by-step answer:
It is given in the question that the difference between circumference and diameter of a circle is 135cm then, we have to find the radius of a circle. The value of π is given as 227. Let us assume that the radius of a circle is r. Then we know that the diameter of the circle is double the radius. So, the value diameter can be given as 2×radius.
We get the diameter of a circle =2r.
Now, we know that circumference of a circle is given by the formula 2πr. Given the difference between circumference and diameter of a circle is 135cm, which clearly means that the difference between 2πr and 2r is 135cm. Then, we get
2πr2r=135cm………………………………………….(1)
Taking 2r common in L.H.S, we get
2r(π1)=135, substituting the value of π as 227, we get
2r(2271)=135
2r×(2277)=135
2r(15)=7×135
30r=945
r=94530
r=31.5cm
Thus, the radius of a circle is of length 31.5cm.

Note: If we know the circumference of a circle then we directly find the radius of a circle using formula, r=circumference2π. Where π is the ratio of circumference and the diameter of a circle.
