sketch relations using a saved analysis

$

In an assembly I have one sketch which is a rectangle that surrounds a couple parts that are stacked.  I use the analysis / measure / length tool to get the length of that sketched curve.  I save this measurement as a feature which now appears on my model tree.  Now I want to sketch a new curve that is a simple circle and I want to diameter to be derived from the length of the earlier rectangular curve (the analysis that I just saved) so the diameter will be = length / pi.    - resulting in a circle that will have the same perimeter as the rectangle.

I know how to create a relation in the sketch.  The problem I have is getting the "saved analysis" length to come into the relations equation.  I've read a few things that lead me to believe that I should be able to do this, I guess I have yet to master the syntax correctly or I'm chasing the wrong method.

Your help is appreciated.
