Let's recall the formula for finding a circumference.

8.4Ď€ m

Practice makes perfect

We are given the following diagram and we want to find its circumference.

The circumference C of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. C=2Ď€ r From the diagram, we know that the radius of the circle is 4.2meters. By substituting 4.2 for r in the formula, we can calculate C.
C=2Ď€ r
C=2Ď€( 4.2)
C=2(4.2)Ď€
C=8.4Ď€
The circumference of the circle is 8.4Ď€ m.
