The circumference of a circle (π * d) is a length.
Lengths are given in a linear measure such as:
Its diameter and circumference are measured.
Diameter.
The circumference is the distance around a circle and it is measured by:- Circumference of a circle = 2*pi*radius or pi*diameter
It is used in finding the circumference and area of a circle. Circumference = 2*pi*radius or pi*diameter measured in linear units Area = pi*radius2 measured in square units
== == Given that the circumference of the earth is 40,075.02 km (measured at the equator) the circumference in inches is roughly 1,577,756,664 inches.

You can use the circumference of the pencil and the circumference formula to find the radius. Set the measured circumference equal to 2pi*radius and solve. I measured it to about .75 of an inch, so: .75=2pi*radius r=.75/2pi
Gloves are measured in length...Mitts (catchers) are measured in circumference. Companies like akadema offer mitts ranging from 31in to 34in circumference.
Using a compass and the circumference is measured by 2 times pi times radius or diameter times pi.
Usually, yes.
Circumference can be measured in any linear measurement. It could be centimeters, meters, miles, inches etc. generally the circumference is the linear distance around a circle. When you have a perfect circle, it's fairly easy to calculate if you know the distance across the circle.
