properties of a circle and make a conclusions (Level 6b)
Starter: Match up the properties of a circle with the diagram
The circumference of a circle is its perimeter or
the distance around its edge. If we ‘break’ a
circle and straighten it, the length will be equal
to its circumference. B

What is 3.14?
Earth
Mother Earth has a generous
waistline: At the equator, the
circumference of the globe is
24,901 miles.
Example 1
Find the circumference of a circle, given the diameter:

circumference
Circumference
= π × diameter

4cm Circumference
diameter =π×4
= 12·57cm (2 d.p.)
Acti vity 1

= 25.1cm = 3.1m
or 314cm = 157mm = 28.3cm

= 35.2cm = 40.2cm = 23.6cm = 15.1cm

Example 2
Find the circumference of a circle, given the radius:

circumference Circumference
= π × diameter
= π × radius x 2
