This video tutorial from Math Antics explains how to calculate the circumference and area of a circle using the mathematical constant Pi. It introduces the formulas for circumference (C = Pi × diameter) and area (A = Pi × radius squared), highlighting their similarities and differences. The video provides examples and addresses common mistakes, such as confusing radius squared with doubling the radius. Real-world examples, like calculating the Earth's circumference and a pizza's area, are used to reinforce understanding. The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the importance of practicing these calculations.

What is the formula for calculating the circumference of a circle?

• Circumference = Pi * radius squared

• Circumference = 2 * Pi * radius

• Circumference = Pi * diameter

• Circumference = Pi * radius
