The relationship between the radius and the circumference of a circle

The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is a

constant, known as pi ( )

Radius 2.6
Diameter 5.2
The ratio of the diameter to the radius is 2:1

If a radius r is known, the diameter can be determined.

When the diameter is known, the circumference can be
determined, using the formula: 2 pi r
