The circumference of a cirlce can be found if you know either the diameter (the longest distance from on side on the circle to another) or th radius (half of the diameter).

If you know the radius, multiply it by 2 to find the diameter.

The cricumference = pi x D

This means you times the diameter by pi (3.1415926535...)

The circumference of a cylinder cannot be found. Only the circumference of the two round bottoms can be found. The circumference equals 2pi times the radius.
