Pi is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter (pi = circumference / diameter). So that explains why it's in the circumference formula. For the area, a little knowledge of calculus is helpful. Here's a 'simple' explanation.
Suppose you have a polygon with many sides, which is inscribed into a circle. The area of the polygon can be found by adding up the areas of isosceles triangles formed by a polygon side and line segments extending to the center. If you have enough sides, then the base of each small triangle will approximately be equal to the corresponding arc of the circle. For sufficiently small triangles (a very large number of sides for the polygon), a 'long leg' of the isosceles triangle will be approximately equal to its altitude.
Say that we have a 100 sided polygon, with radius R and diameter = 2*R. So lets find the approximate area of the polygon. Each base (polygon side) will be approximately equal to Circumference/100, and each altitude will be approximately equal to R. So the area of one triangle is equal to Base*Altitude/2, which is approximately (Circumference/100)*R/2. Substitute Circumference = pi*Diameter = pi*2*R.
Each triangle area is approx (pi*2*R/100)*R/2 = (pi/100)*R2. Since there are 100 triangles, the polygon area is approximately pi*R2 (which is the area of the circle). Note the word approximate, because there is slight space between the polygon and the circle, but [here's the calculus part], as the number of polygon sides approaches infinity, the space between the polygon and the circle approaches zero, and the errors in approximation approach zero, so that the area of the circle and the infinite sided polygonare the same.
Use the formulae for the area and circumference of a circle, replacing the symbol for the radius or the diameter with the known radius or diameter. As a reminder, the radius is 1/2 the diameter.Circumference = pi x diameter area = pi x radius squared
If the diameter of a circle is 69mm then the circumference is: 216.8mm (diameter x pi = circumference).
The circumference of a 34mm circle is: 107 mm
The circumference of this circle is about 14.45 units.
The circumference is the length around the outside of the circle. The circumference is equal to 2pieR (2xPiexRadius)
Circumference of a circle = 2*pi*radius or pi*diameter
?
Please use one of the following formulae: circumference = pi x diameter circumference = 2 x pi x radius
Radius of circle times 2, multiply that by pi (3.14 for easyish reckoning), and that's the circumference of a circle. The circumference of an object is the distance around the outside or perimeter. Different formulae are used to calculate this depending on the shape.
There are two main formulae for finding the circumference of a circle. * C=2 x pi x radius * C= pi x diameter
To start with, you try to spell them correctly. You either measure the circumference (not circumfrence)of a circle (not circl) or calculate it. Formulae for calculations will depend on what is known about the circle.
