No. "pi" is the 'ratio' of circumference to diameter of a circle. It doesn't care what the unit is,
just as long as both are measured in the same unit.

Convert diameter to circumference?

The circumference of a circle is a little more than 3 times the diameter, so for a rough, approximate conversion, multiply the diameter by 3. For a better conversion, multiply the diameter by π instead. π is a the Greek letter whose name sounds like 'pie'. It is often written 'pi' instead of π. π cannot be written down absolutely accurately, but you can make your conversion more and more accurate by using more and more accurate values for π. Here are some values for π in order of increasing accuracy, 3.1 3.14 3.142 3.1416 3.14159 3.141593 (This list can go on forever.)


What is the circumference of a circle with 3.14 used instead of pi?

You appear to misunderstand!!! pi = 3.14 C = 23.14r (radius). However, if the radius is also 3.14 , then C = * 3.14 * 3.14 = 19.7192 units.


Is the area of a circle larger than the circumference?

The area is measured in square units, while the circumference is measured in linear units. The two are not directly comparable. It does not make sense to compare different kinds of units, for example, which is larger: a foot or a gallon? If you just want to compare the numerical values while ignoring the units, you get different results for the same circle depending on the units of measurement you choose. The formula for the area of a circle is pi x r2. The formula for the circumference of a circle is pi x 2 x r. So, for example, if the radius is 2 cm, the area is 4 pi cm2 and the circumference is 4 pi cm, they are equal numerically. But 2 cm is the same thing as .02 m. If we use .02 m instead, we get the area is .0004 pi m2 and the circumference is .04 pi m. The circumference is numerically larger. The above example shows why it does not make sense to compare area to circumference. You get a different answer for the same circle depending on what unit of measurement you use.


What is the circumference of a 15 by 24 pool?

Actually, since your pool is a rectangle, it will have a perimeter instead of a circumference. That is the distance around the outside. To get that, add all sides together. 15+15+24+24= the perimeter.


One cent is equal to how many square feet?

You need to measure the diameter of the cent. Then divide the diameter in half to get the radius. The formula for area of a circle = ?r2, where ? is 3.14159. I think you would be better off using millimeters or centimeters instead of ft.

'If you measured both circumference and diameter in inches instead of in centimeter would it affect the value of pi?

No because pi is a ratio. Exactly. You could measure it in Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters and it would still have the same value. JHC!


If you have measured both the circumference and diameter in inches instead of centimetre would it affect the value of pi?

no, pi is a unitless numerical constant


What is the perimeter of a circle which has a diameter of 10 cm?

In the case of a circle, it is common to call this "circumference" instead of "perimeter". Just multiply the diameter by pi.


What is the length of a car park if it is measured using a trundle wheel with circumference of 126 cm and it rotates 77 times?

7 7 x 126 cm = 9,702 cm = 97.02 metersThis could have been a much more interesting problem if you had giventhe diameter of the wheel instead of its circumference.


How do you Calculate circumference of a ball?

To calculate the circumference of a ball (which is a sphere), you use the formula for the circumference of a circle, ( C = 2\pi r ), where ( r ) is the radius of the sphere. If you have the diameter ( d ) instead, you can use the formula ( C = \pi d ), since the diameter is twice the radius (( d = 2r )). Simply plug in the radius or diameter into the appropriate formula to find the circumference.


What is the diameter of a 120cm?

The diameter of a circle is the straight-line distance across the circle, passing through its center. If the diameter is given as 120 cm, then the diameter is simply 120 cm. If you meant the circumference or radius instead, please clarify!


What is the diameter of a circle whose circumference is 4 inches?

To find the length of the circumference we would use C = Pi times Diameter, so if we want to find the diameter instead of the circumference we just need to rearrange the formula: D = circumference divided by Pi1. move the diameter over the = sign and divide by the circumferenceSo for your example:D = C divided PiD = 4 divided by Pi ( if you can't use a calculator use 3.14)D = 1.27323....D = 1.3 to one decimal placehope this helped


What is the outside circumference?

The outside circumference refers to the distance around the outer edge of a circular object. It can be calculated using the formula ( C = 2\pi r ), where ( C ) is the circumference and ( r ) is the radius of the circle. If the diameter is known instead, the formula can also be expressed as ( C = \pi d ), where ( d ) is the diameter. The circumference is important in various applications, including engineering, architecture, and everyday measurements.


What is a circumference of a ring?

The circumference of a ring, which is essentially a circular shape, is the distance around its outer edge. It can be calculated using the formula ( C = 2\pi r ), where ( C ) is the circumference and ( r ) is the radius of the ring. If you know the diameter instead, the formula can be expressed as ( C = \pi d ), where ( d ) is the diameter. The value of ( \pi ) is approximately 3.14159.


What is the circumference of a circle if the diameter is 2.6Cm?

Oh, dude, you just gotta take the diameter and multiply it by π (pi) to get the circumference. So, if the diameter is 2.6 cm, the circumference would be 2.6 x π, which is around 8.17 cm. Easy peasy, right? Like, who even uses circles in real life anyway?

Why do you measure the diameter of the pipe instead of the circumference of the pipe?

You could, but if you do, you will have to divide the circumference by π, and that's an irrational number. And, think of placing the pipe in a rectangular box with two sides the same length as the diameter of the pipe. It fits, and it makes the question much, much simpler. (Doesn't it? Sorry if my answer's too long.)
