A circle is the set of points in a plane
that are a fixed distance from a given
point, called the center. A radius
connects the center to any point on the
circle, and a diameter connects two
points on the circle and passes through
the center.

Additional Example 1: Finding the Circumference of a
Circle
Find the circumference of each circle, both
in terms of p and to the nearest tenth. Use
3.14 for p.
A. Circle with a radius of 4 m
C = 2pr
= 2p(4)
= 8p m 25.1 m
B. Circle with a diameter of 3.3 ft
C = pd
= p(3.3)
= 3.3p ft 10.4 ft
