Circumference of A Circle

This document provides word problems involving calculating the circumference and perimeter of circles and composite shapes using formulas like circumference = 2πr and perimeter = sum of side lengths. It includes finding circumferences and perimeters when only the diameter or radius is given, as well as multi-step word problems like combining circles to find a new diameter or calculating the length of wire used to make a paper clip.
