Remember that the formula for the circumference,
C, of a circle is:


C = d \pi


In this case, we are not given the diameter. However, remember that the diameter is equivalent to two times the radius of a circle. Thus,


d = 2 \cdot 8 = 16,

and we can say the circumference of our circle is:


C = 16 \cdot 3.14 = 50.24 \,\textrm{units}


The circumference of our circle is 50.24 units.


Also, a little side note not relating to the question:

Remember that
\pi is spelled as "pi" not "pie." Pie is a dessert, while pi is a mathematical constant.
