Circumference and Area of Circles Practice

The video tutorial covers the seventh-grade concept of calculating the circumference of a circle, using a problem from the 2017 released STAR test. It explains the difference between radius and diameter, and how to use the formula for circumference, which involves multiplying Pi by the diameter. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to solving the problem, emphasizing the use of 3.14 as an approximation for Pi, and concludes with the final calculation of the circumference.
