Circumference review
Review the basics of circumference and try some practice problems.
What is circumference?
Circumference is the distance around the outside of a circle (its perimeter!).

Finding circumference of a circle
To find the circumference of a circle, we can use either of the following formulas:
Want to know why these formulas work? Check out this article.
Example 1: Finding circumference when given diameter
Find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of .
The formula for the circumference of a circle that uses diameter is:
We can stop here and write our answer as . Or we can plug in for and multiply.
The circumference of the circle is units or units.
Example 2: Finding circumference when given radius
Find the circumference of a circle with a radius of .
The formula for the circumference of a circle that uses radius is:
We can stop here and write our answer as . Or we can plug in for and multiply.
The circumference of the circle is units or units.

- how to tell if your answer to circumference is correct(27 votes)
- To find area with circumference, you divide the circumference by pi, to get your diameter. Then, you find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2. You then multiply your radius by itself and multiply that product by pi.

- why do we need to measure circles(19 votes)
- You don't really, but if you need to find your tire size, that's the way to do it. Also, a lot of math you won't really need for practicality, but you'll need it for high school which eventually leads up to college and your future job.(36 votes)
- Is the answer in the second practice question wrong?
My calculator said 9π is 28.27, not 28.26.
Ps: if it is wrong I don't see a way to report it.(14 votes)- If you use π then you will get 28.27.
If you use 3.14 then you will get 28.26.(23 votes)

- No, maybe get better at math(12 votes)
- yall why are the questions from 4 years ago-(11 votes)
- The questions with the most votes are 4 years old, but if you go to the Sort by: and choose Recent, you will see questions that are 9, 10, and a month ago. Recent questions generally do not get many votes.(13 votes)
