Circle circumference
Circumference is the distance around a complete circle. This calculator uses the radius together with the constant π to find that distance.
Inputs and field meanings
Review these values before running the tool. The labels below come from the actual form so the guidance matches what you will use on this page.
- Radius: required, minimum 0.
Circumference formula
Circumference = 2 × π × radius.
If you know the diameter instead, use circumference = π × diameter because diameter is twice the radius.
Geometry example
For a circle with radius 5 cm: circumference = 2 × π × 5 ≈ 31.416 cm.
How to check the calculation
- The result uses the same length unit as the radius.
- Do not enter diameter in a radius field, which would double the intended result.
- For a rough manual check, use π ≈ 3.14 and compare with the calculator result.
Common geometry questions
What is the difference between circumference and area?
Circumference measures the boundary length. Area measures the surface inside the circle and uses πr².
Can I use diameter instead?
Yes. When diameter is known, C = πd.
What value of π is used?
Calculators use machine precision for π; 3.14 is mainly useful for quick hand estimates.
