Take "pi" times the diameter of the circle.
Pi = 3.14159 (ALWAYS)
If circle has a diameter of 10cm, circumference 31.41cm
If circle has a radius of 2inches, the circumference is 12.57 inches. (radius = 2, diameter = 4)

The circumference = pi x r2, and the diameter = 2r. So if you start with the circumference, you divide that number by pi (3.1416), then take the square root. What's left is the value of the circle's radius; double it to get the diameter.
My understanding is that as the measurement of the circumference of a circle is derived from an equation using "pi" with pi being an indefinite number, the measurement of the circumference of a circle is also an indefinite number, but the figure can be rounded back to a predetermined number of decimal places.
Assuming you are talking about a circle:* If you know the radius of the circle, multiply that by 2. * If you know the circumference of the circle, divide that by pi. * If you know nothing, you need to measure either the radius, the diameter, or the circumference.
The circumference of a 34mm circle is: 107 mm
The circumference of this circle is about 14.45 units.
