Remember and commit to memory.

C = 2 pi r or C = pi d

A = pi r^(2)

Where C = Circumference

A = Area

pi is a constant at 3.1416

r = is the radius

d is the dianter ; 2r = d

r^(2) = r x r = 'r' squared.

So selecting r = 7 inches

Then C = 2* (3.1416)* 7

C = 14*3.1416

C = 43.98229....

C ~ 43.99 inches.

NB In school you may be given pi =

pi = 3.14, 3.1416, 22/7

These are only approximations, but given for ease of calculating.

pi = 3.141592.... Is an irrational number and the decimals recur to infinity, AND are in no regular numerical order.

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!!!!!

What is the circumference of a circle if the radius is 27 inches?

The circumference of a circle if the radius is 27 inches is: about 169.6 inches. (you can do this type of calculation for other circles using this formula: r x 2 x Pi = circumference).

Is it true all circles with radius o Cm have circumferences of the same length?

No, it's not true that all circles with a radius of 0 cm have circumferences of the same length because a circle with a radius of 0 cm is actually just a point. A point does not have a circumference, as circumference is defined for circles with a positive radius. Therefore, circles with a radius of 0 cm do not exist in the traditional sense of geometry.
