Why are potholes round? That's because it's the natural shape to be formed by the action of wheels, etc. If they started to be square, say, there would be a tendency for the straight parts of the edge to contact the wheel more than the corners. So they would get broken off more. In fact, it wouldn't have got like that in the first place.

Circumference of a circle that is 8 inches?
Circumference of a circle that is 8 inches of what? 8 inches in diameter? 8 inches in radius? Please clarify your question next time.If it's 8 inches in diameter, the circumference would be as follows:Circumference of a circle = pi (sorry but I don't know how to type the symbol) x diameter = 3.14 x diameter (if you round pi)Therefore if diameter=8, circumference = 3.14 x 8 = 25.12 inches.If the 8 inches is the radius, you multiply that by 2 to get the diameter and use the same formula to find the circumference. (Diameter = 8 x 2 = 16 inches, Circumference = 3.14 x 16 = 50.24 inches.)
