The radius and circumference of a circle are related by the constant pi, no matter the size of your circle. So for this particular circle, we need to double the radius to find the diameter. (The diameter goes all the way across the circle through the center, while the radius only goes from the center to the outer edge. You can think of the diameter as two radii -- yes, that's the plural of radius -- put back-to-back.) Now that we know the diameter is 8 cm, we just have to multiply it by pi. The easiest approximation for pi to use in this sort of problem is 3.14, so 8x3.14 is 25.12.

The circumference of a circle with a radius of 4cm is: 25.13 cm (r x 2 x pi)
Circumference of a circle = 2*pi*radius or diameter*pi
Circumference = Pi X Diameter = 3.1415 X 4cm = 12.566cm
It is: 2 to 3 respectively
circumference of the circle = 4*pi cm
