Double the Radius to Calculate the Diameter.
diameter = 2 * radius
to calculate circumference you find a circles radius or diameter. you do diameter times pi or radius times 2 times pi. the you have circumference!
You can either measure it, or calculate it if you know the diameter (radius = diameter / 2), or the circumference (radius = circumference / (2pi)).
If you know the circumference, the ration of the diameter to the circumference is π, so diameter = circumference/π If you have the radius, diameter = 2 x radius
Double the Radius to Calculate the Diameter.
diameter = 2 * radius
Radius of a circle = diameter/2
Radius of a circle is half the diameter. For any given circle draw a straight line from one point on the circulference, through the circle centre, to the opposite point on the circu,afenrece. Then taking a rule measure the straight line distance. That is the diameter(d) Half of this distance, that from the circle dentre to the circumference is the radius(r). r + r = d or 2r = d or r = d/2 From this straight line we can calculate both the area (A)and the circuference(C) by using the following eq'ns/ C = 2pir = pi*d A = pi *r^(2) 'pi' is a constant for all circles. and the number 3.14 or 3.1416 or 22/7 are used in these APPROXIMATIONS.

Circumference = diameter*pi
Divide the diameter by 2.
Of a circle: divide the length of the circumference by the value of Pi (about 3.14159). The answer is the diameter. Half of the diameter is the radius
The radius is one -half of the diameter. It is the distance from the circle center to any point on the circumference.
