You have to calculate the radius - half the diameter. Then square the radius, and multiply by pi (approximately 3.1416). If you want to do a mental estimate, round pi to 3.
The circumference of a circle that has a diameter of 6.75 feet is about 21.2 feet.
Estimate: 3*10 = 30 inches Actual: pi*9.8 = 30.788 inches rounded to three decimal places
Estimate: 3*40 = 120 inches Actual: pi*39 = 122.5 inches to one decimal place
Seven inches.
The thickness of any U.S. coin is measured at the rim. For dimes it's 1.35mm.
The best estimate for the circumference of a circle that has a diameter of 6 is 18.9
The circumference of a circle that has a diameter of 6.75 feet is about 21.2 feet.
The 'best' estimate of the area of a circle with a radius of 7.62 meters is: 182.414692 m2
The radius of a circle is halve the circle's diameter.
50.26548246 Inches 127.6743254 Centimetres
Estimate: 3*10 = 30 inches Actual: pi*9.8 = 30.788 inches rounded to three decimal places
Estimate: 3*40 = 120 inches Actual: pi*39 = 122.5 inches to one decimal place
The length of a chord that contains the center of the circle
milimeters
The diameter of a circle is twice its radius or its largest chord passing through the center of the circle.
Diameter
-- If you know either the area or the circumference of the circle, you can calculate the other one. -- If you don't know either the area or the circumference, then you have to either measure the circle's diameter, or ask around and try to find someone who already knows what the length of the diameter is. -- Once you have the diameter, take 1/2 of it. That's called the circle's "radius". -- The area of the circle is (pi) x (radius)2 -- The circumference of the circle is (2 pi) x (radius) or (pi) x (diameter). (Pi) is a number that can never be exactly written down, so the best you can do is use some number that's close. The closer your number is to (pi), the closer your answer will be to the truth, but it can never be exactly and perfectly correct. (Pi) is approximately 3.1415926 . But the easiest and most practical way to work with it is to use 22/7 for it. If you do that, then your answers are only about 0.04 percent wrong, and that's actually pretty darn good.
