    Lesson 79 : Finding the Circumference of a Circle

    Explore and Discover!

    For any circle, the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is about
    3.14 or . This number is represented by the Greek letter π (Read: pi).

    Since circumference ÷ diameter =π, C ÷ d = π Multiplication


    is the inverse
    then we can find the circumference (C) of division
    by multiplying π and diameter (d). C = π x d
    For any circle, the radius (r) is
    one - half the diameter, so
    C = πx 2xr or
    r = x d or d = 2 x r. C = 2 x π x r or C= 2πr

    We replaced d with 2r to find C.

    For example, to find the circumference of a circle of diameter 4 cm, we compute as


    follows:
    C = π x d C = 2 x π x r
    = 3.14 x 4 cm = 2 x 3.14 x 2 cm
    = 12.56 cm = 12.56 cm

    We can find the circumference of a circle if its diameter or radius is given.


    For convenience, we will now use π = 3.14 unless otherwise specified.

    Apply Your Skills!

    1. Find the error. Your friend is finding the circumference of a circle with a radius of 3
    millimetres. Describe and correct the error.

    C = πd
    = (314) (3)
    = 9.42 mm

    2. Find the circumference of the circle described. Tell what value you used for π . Explain
    your choice.
