How do you calculate circumference?
to calculate circumference you find a circles radius or diameter. you do diameter times pi or radius times 2 times pi. the you have circumference!
Why is Pi used to calculate circumference and area of circles?
pi is an irrational number at 3.141592.... ( recur to infinity and decimals in no regular order. Let me tell you a story!!!! It was found by the 'Ancient Civilisations' that when a donkey is used to drive up water from well, it was tethered to a rope/halter, the radius. It walked round the well head tied to the halter. in a big circle, the circumference. It was found by the ancients, that twice the radius, the diamter, has a direct proportion to the circumference. It didn't how big/small the circumference was, compared to the radius/diameter the proportion always remained the same at 3.141592.... (pi). So the ancints constructed an equation. C is directly proportional to diameter ,d, This proportion is always constant hence a 'k' for constancy is inserted. C = kd or k = C/d This constant 'k' was given the name 'pi', which is the lower case Classical Greek letter 'p'. and stands for proportion. So ther you have it!!!!!
Do all circles have the same circumference?
no because it all depends on how big the circle is.
How do you use pi in everyday mathamaics?
Pi is used in many different places.The most obvious one is to calculate several things related to circles and spheres: for example, calculate the circumference and the area of a circle if you know the radious, or calculate the surface area and the volume of a sphere if you know the radious.Pi is also used in certain situations where there is no connection to circles. For example, in certain integrals (to calculate the area under certain functions).Pi is used in many different places.The most obvious one is to calculate several things related to circles and spheres: for example, calculate the circumference and the area of a circle if you know the radious, or calculate the surface area and the volume of a sphere if you know the radious.Pi is also used in certain situations where there is no connection to circles.

What is the answer to circles and circumference?
circumference = 2*pi*radius or pi*diameter
A fraction of a circles circumference?
An arc
What is a portion of a circles circumference?
It is an arc
How can a compass help in math?
A compass can be used to calculate distance by angle and to help draw circles as well as finding the radius, diameter, and circumference of the circle.
Calculate the circumference of a circle with each diameter?
Multiply each of the diameters by pi (pi = 3.14159265 or 3.14 for rough approximation) to find the circumferences of the circles.
How do you find the circumference of circles?
The circumference of a circle = pi*diametre = 2pi*radius
What circles the earth at its largest circumference?
The equator.
What two numbers are divided to calculate pi?
Pi (π) is calculated as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Therefore, the two numbers used to calculate pi are the circumference of the circle and its diameter. This relationship holds true for all circles, making pi a constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
