To convert area into circumference, take the two formulas for circles--circumference and area:
C=2pi*r
A=pi*r^2
Now, isolate the common variable (r) in the second equation.
r=sqrt(A/pi)
Now you can substitute this in for "r" in the first equation to find circumference
C=2pi*sqrt(A/pi)
C=2pi*sqrt(36pi/pi) pi cancels out
C=2pi*sqrt(36)
C=2pi*6
C=12pi

The circumference of a 36 circle is: 113.1 (diameter x pi = circumference).
Pi is related to the area and the circumference of the circle. The area is Pi multiplied by the radius of the circle squared and the circumference is Pi times the diameter of the circle. if you're wondering how it works, pi is the area of a circle with radius of 1 (unit), and the circumference of a circle with a radius of ½ (unit).
pi x diameter gives you the circumference. pi x 36 = ? I don't have my calculator on me.
Circumference of a circle = 2*pi*radius or pi*diameter Area of a circle = pi*radius2
The circumference of a circle is given by Circumference = pi x diameter. The area of a circle is given by Area = pi/4 x diameter2. Thus for a circle with circumference c = 12 in. The area will equal a = 11.459 in2.
