This video tutorial explains the concept of the circumference of a circle, comparing it to the perimeter. It introduces two equivalent formulas for calculating circumference: one using the radius and the other using the diameter. The video demonstrates these formulas through two examples, highlighting the use of the pi button on calculators for more accurate results. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding both exact and approximate values of pi.
