    The formula for the circumference of a circle is : C = 2 x PI x r

    Using this formula and the provided information we can find the diameter:

    Circumference is given as 7.38 cm

    PI is given as 3.14

    So now we have:

    7.38 = 2 x 3.14 x r

    Multiply 2 and 3.14:

    7.38 = 6.28 x r

    Divide both sides by 6.28:

    r = 7.38 / 6.28

    r = 1.17516

    Diameter = 2 x r

    Diameter = 2. 1.17516

    Diameter = 2.35 cm

    The button hole needs to be 2.35 cm
