Given:

Radius + Diameter = 84 cm

Formula used:

Diameter = 2 x Radius

Circumference = 2πr

Calculations:

Let the radius be R then, Diameter be 2R.

Now, according to question, 

R + 2R = 84

⇒ 3R = 84

⇒ R = 28 

So, The circumference = 2πr = 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 28 = 176 cm

Now, difference between Circumference and radius is

= 176 - 28

= 148 cm

Hence, the required difference is 148 cm.
