The circle was . . . in diameter
كان قطر الدائرة . . . الخ


Explanation:
The question does not seem to be about the translation of the word "diameter," but rather about the phrasing of the sentence.

In English, we say, "The circle was . . . in diameter."

In Arabic we say, "the circle's diameter was . . ."
كان قطر الدائرة . . . الخ
