The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle.

The circumference C of a circle is C = πd or C = 2πr, where d is the diameter of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.​

Using Arc Lengths to Find Measures

An arc length is a portion of the circumference of a circle. You can use the measure of the arc (in degrees) to find its length (in linear units).

In a circle, the ratio of the length of a given arc to the circumference is equal to the ratio of the measure of the arc to 360°. ​
