The distance around a circle is called circumference. For every circle, the ratio of circumference C to diameter d is the same. This ratio, , is represented by the Greek letter , called pi. Pi is approximately equal to 3.14 or . By solving the 22

7equation = for C, you get the formula for circumference. the formula for circumference.C = d, or C = 2r.

C = d, or C = 2r

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEThe circumference C of a circle is times the diameter d, or 2 times the radius r.

Find the circumference of the circle to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for .

Additional Example 3A: Finding the Circumference of a Circle

12 in.C = dC 3.14 · 12C 37.68

You know the diameter.Substitute for and d.Multiply.

The circumference of the circle is about 37.7 in.
