I agree with Kofi that the circumference of a circle equals pi times the diameter. This is because the formula for the circumference of a circle is given by:

C = 2πr

Where C is the circumference, π is pi, and r is the radius of the circle. To find the diameter, we can double the radius, so we can write:

C = 2π(r) = π(2r) = πd

Where d is the diameter of the circle.

So, the formula for the circumference of a circle is indeed pi times the diameter, not just pi times the radius.
