Calculating the Circumference of a Circle

This video tutorial by Mr. J explains how to calculate the circumference of a circle using either the radius or diameter. It covers the formulas C = πd and C = 2πr, demonstrating each with examples. The video also discusses writing the circumference in terms of π and as a decimal using an approximate value of π (3.14). The tutorial concludes with a summary of the methods and emphasizes understanding the relationship between a circle's circumference, radius, and diameter.

What is the formula to calculate the circumference of a circle using its diameter?

• Circumference = 2r

• Circumference = πd

• Circumference = 2πr

• Circumference = πr^2
