⭕ Circumference Calculator
Calculate circle circumference and related measurements
Circle Formulas
Circumference (from radius)
Example: 2 × π × 5 ≈ 31.42 units
Circumference (from diameter)
Example: π × 10 ≈ 31.42 units
Circumference (from area)
First find radius: r = √(A/π), then C = 2πr
Quick Reference
What is Pi (π)?
Pi (π) is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
- • Pi is irrational (never-ending, non-repeating decimals)
- • For every circle: C ÷ d = π (always!)
- • Common approximation: 3.14 or 22/7
- • Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (3/14)

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between circumference and perimeter?
They're the same concept! Circumference is the special name for the perimeter of a circle. Perimeter applies to any shape.
How do I measure the circumference of a real circle?
Wrap a string around it, mark where it meets, then measure the string length. Or use C = πd if you can measure the diameter.
Why do we use π in the formula?
π is the ratio of circumference to diameter for ALL circles. No matter the size, C ÷ d always equals π (≈3.14159).
What if I only know the area?
Find radius first: r = √(Area/π). Then calculate circumference: C = 2πr. Our calculator does this automatically!
How accurate should I be with π?
For most purposes, 3.14 or 3.14159 is plenty. Scientific calculations might use more digits. Calculators typically use the full precision.
