Answer:

Circles are all similar, and "the circumference divided by the diameter" produces the same value regardless of their radius. This value is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and is called π (Pi).

The circumference of a circle is calculated by multiplying the diameter by pi (π ). And since the diameter is twice the radius, it is also equal to twice the radius multiplied by pi (π ).
