The variable r in geometry equations referrs to the radius. The radius is the distance between the center of the circle and its edge, such that 2 x r = d where d = diameter (width). You can define the size or volume of a circle or sphere simply by knowing its radius.

the formula for the circumference isc=2(pi)rSince you already have the circumference, just plug it into the formula, and solve:3=2(pi)r divide by 2pi0.47746483 = r
It isn't. That is the formula for the AREA of a circle!
2 pi r and pi r 2
A=pi times r times r
That's the formula for the circumference of a circle, when you know the radius. What you do is multiply all three together. Pi is approximately 3.14, and r stands for the radius. The result of the multiplication is the circumference.
