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!!!!!

How do you find circumference of concentric circles?

You need to know diameter of each circle, which are different for each circle; each circle circumference is pi x diameter where pi = 3.14159


What formula is used to find the diameter when you know the circumference?

Pi X D = Circumference. To find Diamater if you know Circumference, divide Circumference by Pi (3.14).
