The clue is in the root part of the word: Circum. It means 'all the way around'. You can circumnavigate the globe, you can be surrounded by the situation you are in and call that 'circumstances', or you can have the distance all the way around the edge of a circle, and that is Circumference.

"Circumference" is the distance around the outer edge of a circle. It can be calculated by multiplying the diameter of the circle by pi (approximately 3.14159) or by using the formula 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.

Pie is something to eat.Pi is a number, approximately but not exactly 3.14, and is equal to the circumference of a circle divided by the diameter.


If the diameter is 3.5inches what is the circumfence?

10.996 inches. That is rounded 11 inches. Diameter dtimes pi gives the circumference C. C = d times pi pi = 3.14159

Which circumference is greater 4.25in 4.246in or 4.308in how do you know?

Ah, well, its all about sorting numbers ... First, it doesn´t have to be inches. It could be cm, miles, km or putablocks ... They all have a 4 on the left side of the dot, so you can ignore this. You end up with 0.25, 0.246 and 0.308 If you sort these, you´ll get 0.246 < 0.25 < 0.308 So 4.246 is the smallest circumfence and 4.308 is the largest. If the numbers given aren´t the circumfence, but the radius or diameter, you`ll have to multiply them by 2 x Pi or Pi , but the result stays the same.

How do you get circumfence of a circle?

Remember the two equations, and commit to memory. C = pi d C = 2 pi r Where pi = 3.141592.... d = 2r = diameter or the sum of two radii. NB These equations have been known from ancient times. It was noticed that a donkey tethered to a central pole to lift water, went round in a circle, the circle was bigger for a longer tether (radius) . It was found that the circumference 'C' was always directly proportional to the diamter (d) . Mathematically C directly proportional d. Hence C = d X a constant(k) C = d*k C/d = k 'k' was found to be 3.141592.... for any sized circle , and hence given the name 'pi'. 'pi' is the small/lower case Classical Greek letter 'p'; it means proportion. Notice how the number '2' Hence today we use :- C = pi*d or C = 2pir As an additional fact A(area) = pi r^(2) Notice how the '2' moves from being an coefficient in 'C' to being a power/exponent in 'A'. The rest remain unchanged. Hope that helps!!!!!
