Circumference of a circle can be calculated if the radius or the diameter is given.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Circumference or the perimeter of a circle can be calculated if the radius or the diameter of the circle is given.
  • This is calculated by the formula - 2 * pi * r (if radius is given) and pi * d (if diameter is given) where pi = 3.14, r = radius and d = diameter
  • This calculation is based on the fact that the circumference is three and a little more times that of the radius. Since the diameter is double that of the radius, when the diameter is given formula becomes pi*d.
